Repairing Paint Chips

I have a few paint chips that I would like to repair.

Does anyone know if there a good do it yourself product for repairing paint chips, or is this still best left to a professional service?

Would be interested in recommendations for either. Thanks.

Many ways to DIY this task.

Any chance you can fix the Typo?

There are even complete kits available at some auto parts stores.

Langka sells a paint repair kit to smooth out blobs that normally result from DIY chip repaints. Try that before going to the expense of a body shop repair.

Typically a body shop will refuse to paint only one panel because it will never match the adjacent panels exactly (color or orange peel texture). Instead the painter will blend the new paint into adjacent panels. It's best to keep the paint original and repair stone chips as required. Buy touch-up paint from your local MB dealer.

Paint Chip Repair

I will take a look for the Langka product. Thanks.

Once I saw something on a paint chip repair product called Dr. ColorChip. Anyone ever heard of or had any experience with their product?
