Chipex

Hi

Anyone used this stuff, I bought some but haven't tried it yet. Any tips gratefully received, the video makes it look remarkable easy which usually means trouble

Thanks

I bought a kit in April and had a quick go. I was so disappointed I just chucked it in the shed.
Last month though I thought I'd have another go as my guards red front bumper had lots of chips through to the white base.

The results were ok but far from invisible. I'd sum it up as a good stop gap until I get the front bumper sprayed, but it's not an invisible repair. However red chips are better than white chips.

It's a doddle and quite rewarding to use if you're filling lots of chips/roadrash, just don't expect to not see the chips anymore.

I've got 3 kits. ( one for each car )

Works well. But don't expect it to be invisible.

Easier to use than touch up paint.

Must confess I bought some for my Griff and had a go at the nose and door mirrors was very disappointed with the results. In fact I thought it was a waste of time. Kept the bottle of colour as a touch up paint but the rest of the kit won't get used.

Been looking into this and it seems something like this is a better and cheaper solution

The results will depend greatly on the colour and make up of the colour,

not the kit being used.

I'v used it on several cars and had good results. I'm a big fan

On deeper chips use a cocktail stick to apply a blob and work it around until you are satisfied. Also be prepared to do several layers with deeper, more visible chips.

I have also had some success with scratches as well.

If anyone is buying I would recommend to buy the smallest kit they do as it comes with oodles of paint which will suffice most scenarios (unless your car is really, really chipped)
