Effective and straightforward - Chipex does it again
I’ve actually been a Chipex user for a number of years (circa 14-15!) after a recommendation on a car forum. It has since become a must buy for each of the cars we have had since. Recently I bought one of the ‘new’ style kits in a fully branded drum (in the ‘old days’ they came in an unbranded flat cardboard box!) to repair some light damage to our local Scout Groups minibus. As ever, colour match perfect and no blobby mess like you tend to get with manufacturer or high street accessory shop touch up pens. Can take a couple of attempts to master (however any mistakes can be wiped away with blending solution or polished off - leaving you ready to try again). Each kit contains plenty of paint and additional consumables such as the micro brushes and blending solution. If they run out, they are easily purchased at moderate cost to use again and again in years to come. Where Chipex differs for me is the flexibility of use and the viscosity of the paint mixture, apply with micro brushes or on lighter surface scratches over a wider area even a microfibre cloth - yes it’s that viscous and blend and polish back the excess. On the one occasion where I had an issue (out of circa 7 cars worth of kits/paint over the years) customer service was fast and responsive in reaching an agreeable outcome. Have used on both flat and metallic paintwork and worked effectively on both. Colours from Flat black, metallic black, red, light metallic grey, dark blue across a range of ages and vehicle manufacturers and all have matched in nicely.
