    They have a Canadian website, but it looks like they are just trying to license these services through dealerships and repair facilities, but sell the product direct to consumers. Unless I fail at the internet. Which is possible.

    I believe you are correct, as usual.

    There's a few guys doing it here in Calgary. Just call them up and they come to you and bam.
    I'm having mine done next month after my BC roadtrip.
    Sorry don't have the name of the guy on me right now but can post it later.

    Jed did my TL couple years ago when he was just trying it out. I was he Guinea pig. It worked quite well, covered up ~80-90% of the chip. From two feet away couldn't tell so I consider it a success.

    He may be better at it now too.

    Mobile reflections.

    I was sold on the videos alone, but couldn't find a way to get a hold of it. Ended up going with chipfixx which I found on another stone chip thread on here. Kit was a little pricey, but coverage was pretty good. It actually blends pretty well, compared to the duplicolor paint pens that are out there.

    I used chipfixx too, worked great and was really easy once you got the hang of it.

    How big is the chip? I have one on my rear bumper and an area the size of the nail on my pinky now has no paint. Not sure how I want to cover it up. I was thinking about Dr. Color Chip too.

    About the same. I'll see what Jed says. It's on the 911 so I'm a bit torn. If a quick <$100 fix will make it look decent/good to naked eye I will roll with it. Paying $1000 to $1500 for a bumper respray seems a bit extreme (just guessing on the prices).

    I emailed them last week, complete with a photo of the damaged panel. No reply a week later.

    I used it on my m3 a few years ago and it looked awesome. Covered a few dozen chips and you couldn't tell it was touched up unless you were within inches of the paint. Tried buying a kit a few weeks ago but they don't ship to Canada anymore.

    I suppose it depends on the colour. I tried it on my satin white pearl STI and it didn't match well. Not enough pearl as it was too white.

    Just got ChipFixx kit today to patch up some chips on the front bumper and grill.

    We'll see how well it matches the White Diamond Tricoat.....

    First go at using the ChipFixx kit, had to do it outside in less than ideal shade. For the money it did the job.
    The photos don't match up exactly, it's just generally the same area.
    Little bit of haze because I was going quick, tomorrow I'm gonna power polish the area and bring back the shine.
