DIY rock chip paint repairs
What do you boys do for rock chips? I see there is an AC Delco paint pen for mosiac black. Anyone used the pen or similar with success?

Dr. ColorChip if they have it in your color....they should. I have used it on my mustangs and now the Z. Works great IMHO. Youtube some videos on it. Its pretty damn good.

I used Dr Colorchip on my 2016....when I got the 2018 I had PPF installed.
Best money ever spent on a car. Have 3M Xpel, greatest feeling ever to be rock blasted by a truck...when you get home the Xpel has already "healed" and there are no signs of shotgun blasts. |

We discuss this often in the Detailing subforum.
Dr. Colorchip or automotivetouchup.com Automotive touchup sells larger quantities.

I really like the dab/smear/rub with solvent method after having used it on the 1LE now.

Dr. ColorChip works great, need to be very patient and may need to reapply multiple times.

I like the Delco paint pens. Prep, apply (usually with a toothpick), wet sand, polish. It'll never be perfect, but far less of an eye sore.

3Rs are some sticky sumbitches. I'll trade grip for the occasional chip every day of the week.
