I'd rather you give it a try first.. Ive always had bad luck with that DIY stuff. Even paint pen jobs look like crap.

Be sure to post before and after.

You know, for a second I thought "Hey, I could really use that for the Mitsu!".

But then I remembered that, well, it's a Mitsu. And I have better things to spend my money on.

Like I said in the piece I did, I was surprised, even with a tricolor paint at how well it concealed the chip. What colour(s) are you ordering?

I know I saw'd'ed but those chips are so tiny I didnt even notice it at first. I mean a yellow crayon can color that up. What about good chips maybe 1/2 an inch and in plainer view?

If you have a 1/2" paint chip, that's not a chip. That's a chunk.

Badge, I'm gonna get the navy blue for the Vette and red for the Frontier.

Fair 'nough. There's a section on the passenger side front lip that got scuffed up when I was pulling out of a crappy parking lot in Knoxville. If I try to clean it up I'll be sure and do some before/after pics. :)
