I used DrColorChip in Night Blue Metallic and it was great

 

That's good to hear was it as easy to apply as it looks in their video with squeegee method? Am tempted as it's been a day and dealer still hasn't given me a price or lead time on OEM paint pen.

 

Go with Dr colorchip. Get the kit and it comes with plenty of paint as well as their blending solution that helps blend the touch up area. Even if you mess up, the solution will allow you to remove the mess up and start over.

 

Thanks gonna order today just needed that confirmation from those who've used to go for it. Thanks

 

I asked for a bottle of OEM touch up paint to be provided with my Racing Yellow 718 when I bought her last Autumn, so no idea of price.
Someone had already had a go at some of the stone chips and it hadn't matched, looking more like Speed Yellow.
So far the paint matches perfectly, how it might fade / age over time is anyone's guess.
I suggest, where necessary, placing tiny amounts with the point of a cocktail stick.

 

OEM paint touch up shouldn’t be more than £20. I’d buy that to ensure a perfect match. I use a tooth pick to apply, allow to settle for a couple of hours then apply another coat. Less is more.

 

Yeah toothpick seems the go to
Thanks

 

just wanted to share that I’ve had very good luck using this type of paint pen to fill in chipped areas with touch up paint. It works particularly well with non-metallic paint.

I wouldn't use a toothpick unless it's a really small and shallow chip. The Dr. Colorchip kit is perfect and easy to use. I used it multiple times on my previous car (metallic black, no PPF) and found that the best was to put a decent-sized drop of the paint next to the chip, then use a finger to swipe the paint over and into the chip. Let dry (1-2 mins), wipe excess off with solvent. Repeat until happy with outcome. The squeegee that they offer is also decent for larger swathe applications onto a bunch of chips, but not needed in your case. Like an earlier member mentioned, you don't have to worry about being too precise with each application cos the solvent will take care of the excess. It's quite miraculous, this kit. Post pics of the before and after!

 

Thanks much appreciated

 

I used Shark Blue OE paint from Porsche and it was very good, but I can see that some colors work better than others. Also make sure to Shake very well.

 

Good to know. I just received the OE Shark Blue touch up from Suncoast and I'm about to try it on a small nick low down on the front bumper. Thanks

 

OE paint pen. Warm it up (place upright in some warm water in a freezer bag or similiar), shake for a couple of mins and apply in thin layers.

Metallic colours don't work as well as you can never get the metallic flakes in the paint to apply as per when the car is sprayed, which leads to the repair being being darker as the flakes lay flat and don't reflect the light in the same way.

 

Thankfully she's a lovely shade of Racing Yellow 🤩

 

Meant to ask: How did you apply it? Usually with the brush, you flood the spot.

 

Sorry. Feeling my way around the site. The above question was meant for InigoMontoya

 

If you want to get the best possible result using touch-up paint, follow these instructions exactly. The results were good enough that I cannot even find most of the chips that I touched up. I never thought I'd take a metal file to my paintjob but it really worked quickly and easily.

 

Now I’m scared. The idea of filing my baby fills me with dread 😬

 

I've used the oem touch up kit, but I have metallic paint so it'll probably be easier for you. I had a few spots, so I used a brush, a toothpick, a pin, and spread with a card. The best result I had was wet sanding, then going with the pin or card (depending on the type of chip), then putting a super thin layer of clear with a brush, and finishing with a da polisher the next day.

 

I used OEM paint with these touch-up brushes from Amazon, and they worked well.
