There are chips that can only be "filled" with several coats during a paint job.....but it does a "good job" at improving the looks of the car from 5 feet away.

It's just paint, so it'll never totally fill chips...

Colorchip paint from the divots while using the solution to remove the surrounding area.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I would say I have road rash on my front bumper and lots of tiny chips on my hood. Once I wax its barely noticeable on the hood but I thought I'd try the dr. colorchip to correct it a bit. I got the large kit with the plastic squeegee and had to get a friend to deliver it because they wouldnt ship to Canada.
The first try didn't go well as the car was a bit warm from the sun so their paint dried too quickly. It took awhile to wipe it off with the solution they provide but I went at it the next day and it was pretty easy.
Heres some before pics, then with paint dry on the hood then after the final wiping. For the price it makes quite a difference, I think I have enough wiping solution left for the mirrors so I'll do those.

That was my experience as well - it does come off with buffing.
I used it on my black Boxster. It was original paint with lots of rash, and was very pleased with the results.
I had a similar experience. It made a big improvement on a dark car when viewed from 5 feet away or more. Up close, the chips are still noticeable. The job was easy to do and worth the effort.
It's been about 4+ years since I did it, and I'm probably due for a refresh.
It's just paint, so it'll never totally fill chips... For what it is, what it does, and ease of application/removal the Dr. Color chip system/technique is pretty cool and very affordable. There's just no way it's ever going to match the quality or results of a repaint.
Oh I totally agree.. but for $100CAD it was well worth it. I'd like a repaint but I'll wait a few years. Rather put that money into good maintenance right now.
I agree 100% with the statements.....as an user, I must say that it matched my expectations.

I've used Dr. Colorchip...no where near as easy as their vids make it seem. It's very easy to remove the Dr. Colorchip paint from the divots while using the solution to remove the surrounding area. And, they cheap out on the solution, so you really don't have enough of it. But, it works better than any other option than a respray.
I finally got around to taking a better 'after' pic. I did some more paint correction, polish, sealer and wax. Theres still some chips to fill and the lower bumper still has road rash but the main area shown looks better and it was worth the price.
