Tried them both, Langka doesn't work nearly as well as Dr. ColorChip! Dr. ColorChip has a your exact color but thinned out compared to the molasses in the OEM touch up paint tube. You just smear off the excess then buff it with the thinner and cloth until it's flat again. Takes practice but you'll get the hang of it. Langka is the same idea except with the OEM touchup paint and no smearing.

Good news everyone! I gave them a shitty survey rating and their customer satisfaction guy called and offered to fix the scratch. I even got a $25 Starbucks gift card.

Try automotivetouchup.com/

I got my touchup paint from them, as well as a base coat/clear coat in aerosol can. I had to respray the bottom portion of my bumper due to a very high curb while parking, it matches very well.

I guess when it rains it pours, I got a massive door ding this weekend. Right in the middle of the passenger side door. I had paint transfer on her door too. I'm really hoping it gets put on her insurance.

I'll get a picture of it tomorrow but pretty much imagine Bruce Lee was opening the car door with a 6 inch punch. The dent just radiates from the center of the door out.
