Default Dr Colour Chip

Now there has been a group buy , just wondered what anyones views on the product was , eg how effective and how long does it last , does it start to wash off after a month or two ?????

Any before and after pics would be great .

thanks

Ive used it on my hawkeye bonnet,i probably had about 50 tiny chips and its worked on them,but on the large chips i dont think its so good.
Also tryed it on a friend of mines bugeye and its got pretty bad road rash on the front,and it didnt really work...

Well I was one of the first[I think] to use the stuff on my RB5 about 4-5 months ago and it has been great. The paint is still as good as when I first applied it and it hasn't deterorated at all.
I am glad I bought the stuff.

Can't see what the fuss is about to be honest. I bought a 'kit' to, it's no better than a touchup pot followed by some thinner to clean up any excess.

i noticed that on mine as well, small chips it is good, on bigger ones better than nothing, but not perfect.

I bought some, applied it and couldn't get it to stay in the chips - the excess cleaning solution kept pulling it out again. Followed the instructions to the letter but I've had no luck with it. It must work though because people in the group buy have welcomed it well.

Ive bought some via the S/N group buy.Haven't applied it yet,but if you do want to buy some,purchase via the company direct.The G/B was a painful experience and (bar other "issues")i dont think the company can cater for large orders.
Individual orders however,seem to arrive in no time...

You have to be patient with it to get a good finish.
