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 heard lots of good things about langka also....i'm also in the market for ways of repairing my paint chips too...anybody acutally used this product before?

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.

damn, i've got that same blue colour...i think it is at least, that's the only blue FC's came in...i really wanna get rid of those paint chips...

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.
