Auto Paint Repair: Do It Yourself

By Nelson Litle

My car is my baby. I have her washed and detailed, I change the oil myself, and I have her in for her tune-ups like clockwork. Often it is impossible to keep my car looking beautiful.

Last weekend, I took my girlfriend for a drive out to the mountains because we wanted to see the stars without the interference from city lights. I put a lot of thought into that evening, and I was ready to go with a cooler, picnic blanket in my backseat, and a telescope in my trunk. I knew I was in trouble as I drove up a long, winding desert road and I heard the gravel ricocheting off the sides of my car. My heart raced as I heard every little piece of gravel hit the car, making a ping-ping sound. When we arrived at the campsite, I thoroughly examined the horrible case of road rash all over the car's bumper, doors, and front end.

You see, fixing paint job scratches on a car is incredibly difficult. You can always purchase the do-it-yourself kits from an auto parts store, but those kits are terrible; the paint colors don't ever match your existing paint; the kit's paint leaves blobs on the old paint coat; and even worse, those kits are a sure sign you did the work by yourself. If you need paint chip repair in Orange County, you can always find a specialist in automotive paint repair. However, the automotive paint repair specialists cost specialist labor fees, and they aren't cheap.

I was frustrated and angry, and I didn't know what to do.I looked up "paint chip repair in Orange County" in a web search, and I began calling some of the car paint repair shops.The quotes I received were outrageous. With the repair cost demanded by those shops, I could have put a down payment on a whole new untarnished car.

I decided to put the search terms "orange county car paint scratch repair" in the search engine, and I found http://www.carpaintchiprepair.com/. Car Paint Chip Repair uses the Dr ColorChip Paint Chip Repair system kits, which are available to both individuals and businesses. I was impressed by the inexpensive price - only $59. I took a risk and went ahead and bought one. I figured that I was game for anything; my head had hurt for two days since the car road rash incident all the way through the anxiety caused by the car paint repair shops' quotes.

My car ended up looking as though it had returned from the ashes, without a paint chip missing anywhere. Using the instruction manual, I tried the color application process. The first few strokes I made were a little shaky, but I quickly got the hang of it. I was blown away, when, after the solutions dried, my car looked pristine again.

I knew I had to be seeing things. My girlfriend took a look at the car, and didn't believe me when I told her that I had purchased the Dr ColorChip kit and done the work myself. My girlfriend got angry because she thought I had spent a fortune at an Orange County car paint repair shop. I dragged her to the computer, and we read the Car Paint Chip Repair website together.

We were shocked when we found out that luxury car dealerships use the Car Paint Chip Repair kits, including BMW and Lexus, along with Porsche dealerships and clubs. The Car Paint Chip Repair website also let us know that the Dr ColorChip Paint Chip Repair system kits are recommended by the Wall Street Journal's editors. Despite what she thought, I knew it wasn't just blind luck that I had fixed the car's paint job. We found out that industry insiders have known about this paint chip repair system for years. - 21396
