Best way to fix paint chips
I have slowly started to find paint chips on my car
 im almost at 3k miles with minimal highway driving. Just got the car in July and its my first new car so it hurts to see the paint being destroyed.I know it may be sad that i know this.. but there is only 3 paint imperfections i want to fix( 2 are through base coat and 1 is just the clear coat ) Has anyone had any experience with that dr color chip stuff? or should i just get the OEM paint and use my surgical precision to fill them in  ?Probably will be going to get some type of added clear coat as well like opticoat or what ever anyone recommends! Thanks guys

Dr. Colorchip works well but with Satin White Pearl being a tri-coat involving a third layer of tinted clearcoat a perfect match is near impossible.
Opticoat (now OptiGloss) works well but it doesn't substitute for lack of proper car care. I used OptiCoat on my vehicle and it's been on there roughly 4 months working great and I have another vehicle that has had it for close to a year and a half. |

opti coat will help with protecting the finish of your paint, but wont help with rock chips
your better off getting a clear bra on spots that you want to protect |
