I use OEM touch up paint, but apply it with micro brushes from Langka. After the paint chip is filled and dry, use Langka Blob Remover and follow the directions. This product will level the paint blob and does not affect or damage the surrounding clear coat. I have had fantastic results, and that's using it on three stage pearl paint! Great stuff!

Likewise, I hate rock chips, door dents or related rash. I chose Oxford White at least in part due to that plus had PPF professionally applied to the front sections soon after purchase.

Thanks! Bookmarked Langka for future reference!

I have a few to repair myself. I bought the oem paint pen.

I've done it on my old truck with decent results. Guess we'll see how this pans out.

how about a bugflector? I have always had them on my trucks and I never have had rock damage on the hood.

I use oem touch up paint on the front end.

Default rocks

My truck was 2 weeks old when a rock truck went past me throwing rocks everywhere. Not just one rock either. It was like a hail storm. Came out with a scratch on the hood and another golf ball size rock wedged in the grill. Was surprised I did not lose a windshield. Pissed to say the least.

I used a Dr. Colorchip kit on my Mazda a few weeks ago, follow the directions and it works pretty darned good.

Took the factory running boards off now the bolt holes on the rocker panel are rusting great.
