Default Paint chips

Okay, so the wonderful state of Georgia has decided to repave the interstate that I drive on to get to work and they are paving one lane at a time at night so there are pieces of pavement that collect along side the uneven part of the road where the newly paved part meets the old part. I was behind a tractor trailer yesterday and it started kicking up these rocks and of course I ended up with a couple of pretty good chips on the hood and one on the windshield. It didn't take me long to punch it and get around the truck allbeit a little too late to save the paint though. Little too late for a short story, but has anyone used a product called Langka chip repair? It's a product that you use after you touchup the paint. It's supposed to remove the "glob" of excess paint that is left after touching up so it's flush with the original paint, thus making it pretty much dissapear. Waswondering ifanyone can share some tips or what kind of results you got from it. I ordered a kit from their website yesterday ($39.99 - better work, lol) so I'll let you know how it works.

BTW, they also support websites such as this... you guys may want to check them out...

www.langka.com

Later folks!

Hey guys, wanted to give ya'll an update on this product. Works great! I applied the touch-up and let it sit for about 4-hours and then used a light touch when I appled the Langka stuff. It even worked on a spot I touched-up a couple of weeks ago. It left the touched up paint a little dull afterwards, but after just a littlepolishing, looked great. It did not make the chip totally vanish, but you have to look closely to see where it was. The nice thing is that it's hard to mess up because you can always remove the touch-up paint and start over! LOL. The key is to take your time doing it. Work it a little, let it set up again, and then work a little more until it is even with the finish. If you work it too much, you'll pull the paint out of the chip and have to start over. Happy touch-ups!
