Hyper Blue guys, how good is DrColorChip vs OEM?

Hi guys. I bought an Delco OEM touch up pen and it’s darker than the hyper blue color on the car. I’m thinking of getting DrColorChip when they have a sale, is it very close? What’s it look like to you?

I've been very happy with Dr. Color Chip. I can't comment on OEM, but no issues with color matching Dr. Color Chip. I have a chip on my bumper, hood, and rear quarter panel that are hidden pretty well. I have a handful of more I still need to do, but I recommend it.

This was my first chip

Is the DrColorchip a bottle with a little brush? I got the GM one and its really weird two step process. I just want a single stage paint that matches.

Tiny bottle and a bigger bottle of "sealant" & remover. The idea is the paint fills the chip, then you use sealant/remover to remove away the excess paint by using a lint free cloth and wiping away what's left on the surface of the paint surrounding the chip. It takes a lot of practice and can be a bit frustrating depending on how picky you are. I want zero paint around the chip, so I've spent a couple hours filling in the chip on my bumper. It's not 100% to my liking, but close enough at this point.

The second step is also to seal in what's left in the chip. I bought these little brushes to help. Dr. Color Chip recommends wiping across the chip with a gloved finger, which does work too. I use the brushes to slowly fill in and build up chipped area. I'm not an expert and in no way have I perfected how to do it. But I try it both ways and see which ends up with better results. If I don't like it I use the sealant/remover and take it off the paint and start over.

Ohh okay I wanted to cover up my road rash on my rocker panels. The oem one is so noticeable, it’s a dark blue color.

I can kind of see it. But, i think I have a picture of the oem on my phone. And it’s badly noticeable. It’s a very dark blue.

I'll have to try it. It may be what I need for the road rash on the quarters.

I've used the OEM touch-up paint on the driver's side door edge and it matched pretty well. For a couple small chips from a long trip, I'm about to try Dr. Colorchip this weekend. Will report the results.
