Why choose a Chipex automotive car repair paint kit?
Every Chipex auto car paint kit is made to match your car perfectly, using OEM-approved colour codes. No matter whether you drive a BMW, Volvo, Audi, Vauxhall or any other make or model, you’ll get a precise colour match that blends effortlessly into your existing paintwork. With thousands of colours available, you can repair paint chips and scratches with the same accuracy you’d expect from a dealership, without the hefty price tag.
Types of car paint damage and how Chipex can help
Stone chips are one of the most common issues, which are typically caused by small debris hitting your car while driving. They may expose the metal beneath and eventually cause rusting if left untreated. The Chipex lite kit is ideal for these types of repairs, to fill the chip and blend it into the surrounding area. If you’re tackling larger areas or require multiple applications, we recommend the plus kit.
Clear coat scratches affect only the top layer of your paintwork. While they can sometimes be polished out, a touch-up can make your vehicle look as good as new. The lite kit will be perfect for restoring these small areas. But for deeper scratches and road rash, the pro kit allows for repeated applications.
The 3-step Chipex application process
Chipex auto paint chip repair kits are made for easy DIY use, and the whole process takes around 30 minutes from start to finish. You just follow three simple steps:
Apply
Start by cleaning the damaged area thoroughly to remove any dirt or grease. Next, shake the bottle of Chipex paint so that the solution is fully mixed. Using the brush provided, apply the OEM colour-matched paint directly to the chip or scratch. It can take anywhere up to 5 minutes for the paint to cure.
Blend
Once the paint has dried, take the Chipex blending solution and the paint removal cloth to gently remove any excess paint on the panel. Allow this solution to dry for a few minutes.
Polish
Finally, apply the Chipex polish with a microfibre cloth. This restores the shine and adds a layer of protection to help guard against future damage.
