Paint chip repair - Langka
Paint chip repair - Langka
I was surfing around and found some stuff called Langka which supposedly helps deblob paint chip repairs done using factory touchup paint. It smells like an "Only $19.95" type product but I found some nice things said about it in some other car forums. Wanted to check in here as I've found this site to be a great resource.
Anybody?

I've done some more research and it still looks pretty promising - within one minor exception: apparently, with metallic paint colors, there is a small difference as the metallic reflection seems to line up a little differently when applied by a brush vs. sprayed on.
I'm still planning to experiment with it and will report back with my results. I've got the metallic (5D) Harbor Blue but I still think having some misaligned reflection beats a chip down to the metal.

Yeah, me too.
The comments I read said it was still much, much better than a looking at a paint chip or a blob. And, if you're through the primer like some of my chips are, you're protecting the metal.
So, to me anyhow, it makes sense. Especially if you look at the cost of getting a pro to do it.
I'll do it within the next few weeks and report back.
Keep your fingers crossed.
