Default Paint chip repair kit, seems good to me.

Hello, like most cars that are dd's or such we tend to accumulate a fair number of chips on our hood's, bumper covers, fenders paint package. My Monte has a few good ones and some more miniscule chips. With the car show season coming up I want to get rid of this particular eyesore. While going through a Road and Track magazine I read an advertisement for rock chip repairs that seemed to good to be true. I went to their site and read more and ended up ordering a kit for my car. I hope it works as well as pictured and as they claim. There is every Monte Carlo color available too.

I will do some before and after photo's while performing the chip repair and post them on the forum as well as a review of the product. Here is a link to the site in case anyone else is in a similiar situation and may want to look this system over. Anyone else have a favorite chip repair system they have sucessfully used in the past?

Thanks for the link Greg, it looks pretty interesting. I will be looking forward to reading your review after you use the product. For the price if it works it is a great deal

I think Mitch tried this a year ago - I thought there was a thread floating around here somewhere.

Well the fact that Mitch used the product and liked it gives me more peace of mind that it will work. They say on the website it's good for the 3ft rule, not in your face like a raw chip would be, or the touch up pens, as they leave the blob look. So appreciate you all remembering that this had been on her before. I will still do my before and after as well.

I tried the Langka kit which works the exact same way and didn't like it on my 98 Camaro.
