The work you did looks fantastic. Any idea on success with metallic paint colors?

Works great on my space blue, color match is perfect, give it an A+ too. Note for deep chips it may take a few applications to fill.

Never used it on my cars, but I have done it for folks that bought the product, but were afraid to do it themselves. Nothing better then having someones else's paint to learn on
It did seem to work well, but I've not done any dark colours yet.

Also PGT, how did you address those filled-in chips that were inadvertently forgotten about when leveling? Fine sand then polish?

my wife's FX35 is a metallic pearl white. it does ok....I'll have to have another look as its now had a few days to cure.
for the few spots I forgot, I had a can of Eastwood's PRE - it's a pre-paint prep spray. That and a bit of elbow grease with a microfiber and I was able to bring it down. Once the car was done, I waxed it and buffed it before going out car shopping. Frankly, I spent more time tending to the car in the last week of ownership than I did the entire 18 mos combined :lol: I know that's sacrilege here in this forum but with a new job and 2yo at home, there were more important things. -

Good stuff. Congrats on the excellent trade value and your new wheels! I've been a Langka fan for a couple of years - nice to see a good writeup on this alternative.
I gotta do a full detail on our 2001 Town and Country this weekend, with some PDR and paint touch-up and polishing out a lot of defects, to prep for trading in the next week or so. Ugh. There is no joy in prepping a car to go away. Necessary evil, I guess. -
Definitely no fun in sell prep, but if you want top dollar......
PDR can be very effective, but often interior panels must be removed to get to the backside of the sheet metal. So, evaluate the backside of the dings and just take it apart as needed calmly, before you even get to the PDR guy. -
Let me just say, I am glad your car wasn't really pink. I was a bit concerned there... :yesnod:

Because he already knows his way around a piece of metal.

It's been on my wish list for a bit. Just never had the nerve to try it out before, now I do. -

Do you think this would work where I have a blister in the paint? On my 4Runner there's a spot that has a small blister coming thru, about the size of a pencil erasor. I was going to sand it down and spray with some off the shelf matching color (black). Would this be a better bet or is it primarily for chips?
