    Hey all,
    I know I already posted this, but I wanted to look back at the posts and realized it was a casualty of the backups.....

    Ok, I know a lot of you voted for getting the Langka chip repair kit. my question is: I still need to buy touch-up paint first, right? This kit just gets rid of the "blob" effect?

    Oh crud, just read the info in the Langka site...... answered my own question :rolleyes:

    Seeing as how you now know,does Langka sell paint?
    Like I said before, the stealer paint matches perfect.

    Stealer=Dealer

    Man has the cost of that paint gone up, I think I paid $25 Canadian, but that was about 6 years ago.

    Doesn't say how many oz on their website. It comes in a pen, I'm guessing you get the same as the dealer paint bottles.
    Cost: $21.95

    Here, you can check it it for yourself:

    Its rediculous how much the 'stealer' charges for OEM touch-up paint. Unopened I wonder how long it will last me. I bought it 'just in case' now I'm thinking if I dont use it for 2 or 3 years will it be all dried up? Maybe I should sell it now to somebody who can use it. I have Chili Red touchup kit.

    So did you guys go with their "paint pen" matched to you Mini or did you use the factory touch-up paint? The way I am understanding it from their site, the kit will work with either.

    I have way too many of these on the bonnet and need to order the kit and might just use their pen if it matches as good as factory.

    Just got done using OEM paint repair with the Langka kit. Works as stated. Some of the deeper/larger chips will need a second application.

    Tip-I let the OEM paint dry about 3.5 hours in 80+ deg weather with some pretty high humidity

    It works

    First time I was pressed for time and did the 'blob' remove after 2 hr's. Not nearly as effective as yesterday.

    I would push it out to 4 hr's if you are applying on a cooler/lower humidity day
