Paint got chipped somehow
Hi guys,
I've had my 2009 VR G37 for only about a month now. It was infiniti pre certified so the body of the car has been in amazing shape until I noticed a chip in the paint this morning. I washed, clay barred, and waxed the car last week and the chip wasn't there so I know it happened in the last couple of days. It is a very small chip, but it sticks out like crazy and makes me furious because I think it was from a car door in a parking lot.
Does anyone have any advice on how to go about fixing this? I've read good things about LANGKA and DR colorchip products, but am still not sure. Thanks

I have not tried Langka but I have worked with Dr. Colorchip it will paint over the chip but not fill it in.
So what it will look like is your chip now but red instead of white.
I have a few chips on my hood and I can still see them when I look at their location but at quick glance it doesnt draw my eye to the white color anymore.
Sorry to hear about it, people these days just dont care about other peoples property. Always happens to me on every car I have owned.

I've used the langka system, and it seemed to work "good enough" I had a similar scratch like that on my back door panel. It took like 6 layers of OEM paint to fill the hole up. The color was blue slate, and it didn't look to be exactly the same as the unchipped OEM paint when it dried. Very close, but it didn't look the same, probably because its missing the clear coat, and self healing coat that makes it glossy?
For yours, i don't think you need any of those systems. Go to walmart, buy the 5$ paint brush kit that has the super super fine tips (mine was the 10pc Brown Nylon Detail Kit), buy the 10$ OEM paint. Using the finest small brush, drop a dot of paint into the chip. After it dries(15min-1hr), drop another dot on, and repeat process till the surface is even or satisfied. When the paint dries, it WILL SHRINK. Finally wax! If you overdo it... than you need to get the langka blobber, or some kind of paint remover(maybe the scratch remover stuff, or polishing stuff?) to take off the excessive paint.
