last week I ordered the Dr. Color Chip paint kit and some fine good quality brushes. Yesterday I tackled three of the more noticeable chips on my car. The paint is a dead match and it works exactly as it’s suppose to following the directions. I think Another application will do the trick for me as I did two or three costs yesterday and wanted it to sit overnight to fully cure the already applied paint. I’m not going to add all the pics but her is one before and after on the right side door handle.
More than impressive results! I'm going to order a kit & brushes and give it another go after seeing your results. Thanks for sharing!
Paint crack Closeup After fill, my paint shop said do this and hold out as long as I can because if they fix it it could be a whole side repaint due to color blending. Ugh Top of roof line, the chip was down to primer. Looks awesome IMO.
Thanks gentlemen, the key is to wipe in multiple directions with the solvent/ sealer until your flush with very light pressure and lots of patience. The chip in the handle was down to the plastic. I also cleaned with 90% isopropyl. The other repairs are still in progress, as one is on the edge of the roof above the windshield and the other, a crack on the driver door ( from a paint-less dent repair gone bad which the dealer did after purchase, but before pickup and I missed it ). Now my car is as new as I can make it.
Next OEM side fender chrome vents replacements, and maybe the Jag accessories chrome hood vents.

Reason: Photo add
I added a small leaper to my 2010. I thought the large one would be a bit overpowering. I like the way it looks and at a price of $3 if I want to take it off I’m not out a bunch of money.
Yesterday: Rewired the charger to an earth point and not the battery earth. Cleaned the windows, topped up the last 0.25 ltrs of oil and reset the oil guage.
No frost this morning so used it
Edit - Saturday was a sunny 18 deg. C, Sunday, a similarly nice 16 deg. C. I guess because I got my clean car out today, we have had a rain storm, sleet, more rain and more rain is forecast soon

Reason: The weather
Didn't wash it because the oak pollen is coming down in buckets, but did take the wife for a nice 200 mile round trip to see the Texas Bluebonnets. I need a leaprer hat!
While checking if my car was supposed to have brake heat shields at the front, I noticed that the tyres were wearing unevenly on the inner edges. A saw-tooth effect easy to see on winter tyres - so I toed them in a little and the car steers in a noticably more linear fashion - much nicer
Drove up to Dallas for an SCCA Road Rally. Great fun, there were four Jags, Two E-types, an X350 and my X150. Didn't do well but had a fun time anyway.
Got my heads up display in place!
Found a pretty good place!:-)
Would be cool to have it recessed but that is someone elses project to see if there is room for it!:-D
I see now in the picture it's not quite alined withthe dash.
