I got lousy results when I filled a chip with metallic paint (10-15 very thin layers).
Leading evidence: 'Fill chip' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'little easier' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Fill chip' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

You just paint and dry until you get a raised area of dry paint, then use the solution that literally dissolves away the blob with a padded plastic insturment (like a credit card covered with soft cotton cloth) until the repaired area is flush with the finished surface.

I use Eric's method of paint and sandpaper but for the novice the chemical peel is probably a little easier to handle...emotionally.

I got great results when I used a single layer of metallic touch up and then filled the chip with clear, using Langka on the resulting clear blob.

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've got a couple of tiny paint chips (rocks?) and have seen that a toothpick is a good instrument to fill fill them. I've got the paint bottle and the clearcoat, but will this look terrible? The chips are very, very, small. TIA.
I've seen it described here:

I went out and got the "pen" and it covered well enough for the time being.

I just ordered and received this:

I'm hoping to be able to try it out next week. I have high hopes but we'll see.
I'll post an update when I'm done.
I am a langka believer. The system is remarkable on most colors. Not great with silver but darker colors are easy. You just paint and dry until you get a raised area of dry paint, then use the solution that literally dissolves away the blob with a padded plastic insturment (like a credit card covered with soft cotton cloth) until the repaired area is flush with the finished surface. Then you put a hardener over it and you are done. Amazing. Will
I would toss the pen and buy a small container of touch-up paint from the dealer (the one with a brush attached to the cap). You can get a small container of clearcoat too.
Langka works with metallic colors but you have to use it somewhat differently. I got lousy results when I filled a chip with metallic paint (10-15 very thin layers). I got great results when I used a single layer of metallic touch up and then filled the chip with clear, using Langka on the resulting clear blob.
A tip - you can clean out the chip (with Langka) and start all over if you don't like how it turned out. Just don't wait too long!
I also recommend Langka...just be patient with it. I even went over some spots that were touched up a year earlier and it made them almost unnoticable with out having to reaply paint. Good luck!
Just a quick question this, does the use of Langka in any way risk paint removal to the surronding area? Is there a chance you could make the problem worse if you're not careful?
Does rubbing alcohol work just as well?
I got my first rock chip today.
One word: SYRINGE.
Go to your local medical supply house, and buy a handful of new small syringes. Use them to apply light amounts of paint into the chips over a few days. After 3 or 4 applications, you should have it built up enough. Then use 2000 grit dipped in water, and lightly sand it out, then buff it with Machine Glaze #3, follow by Paint Cleaner and wax of choice.
Works every time.
I'll have to check out Langka. Luckily, my 996 has very few chips at this point.
I've used the pen before, with great results:

I just ordered one for this car.
A paper match ! Tear off a paper match and use the torn end as a applicator. Tooth paste can be applied to a damp rag to remove any rust stain or dirt that might have formed in the chip. Apply a small coat of paint with the match end & let dry. May take a couple of coats to cover.
Yes, it will look terrible. Even if you get the paint just on the chips, you will make them all stand out when you try putting on the clear. You'll have little shiny spots that catch your eye just as much as before you did the paint.
Look at the option

We used it in black and guards red. Both cars had hood peppered with white chips. You can't even tell now unless you put your nose up to the hood. Very simple process, figure 30 minutes for an average hood, and an hour for you **** ones who will want to fix all those near-microscopic marks that you'll no doubt keep finding. Good stuff though, but READ the instructions or you'll start painting and go WT???? They are short, but certainly worth the read!
