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.

Paint crack

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.

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
