Chipex - Why only 12 chips?
« on: April 17, 2015, 12:22:45 pm »
So why does chipex only work on 12 chips?
There must be enough paint for more than that!!!
Does it really only last 12months in the bottle?

I tried the Chipex kit...

Plenty paint its the Blending Solution and the Chipex Paint Removal Cloth you'll run out of!!!

At least you can now buy these separate when I tried it you had to buy another kit to get more of the above

I didn't rate it to be honest. Cleaned out the chips (ie no polish/wax in them), couldn't really get the paint to stop in the chips on the bonnet.

Also if they're deep it will take forever to do as you need to gradually build them up. On the upside the paint match was perfect and the ones on my bumper looked ok but I dabbed my finger in the paint (wearing the provided latex glove!) and smeared it over them so I think that's the key not using the applicator!
