- Unpacking of the Chipex Road Rash Kit & Using Kit On The Car!
I have zero interest in cars, no idea how to sort issues out when they go wrong and in general just want to jump in, get from A to B and that's it.
You can watch the disaster unfold as I attempt to sort out a simple paint chip, and the lengths I'll go to, to sort the ugly things out!
The kit can be ordered here: www.chipex.co.uk

Great video mate 👏 I'm definitely buying a kit now.
Still using the kit in 2020 for my new Ioniq and still as impressed as the first time I used it. Clearly, simple minds :) Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated!
Maybe your eyes are painted on? lol
Best & most realistic review I've seen so far. I have the box in front of me and I'm building up the courage to have a go. Looks like a bit of patience is needed, letting the paint dry out enough so that you don't remove it all again in step 2, and work in layers when it's really deep.
It's all about patience, and if you muck it up, wipe it off and try again... This video was posted in 2017, it's just about two years old, and I still stick by my comments made in the video and in replies. I've done some more touch ups down the road and they have all been great!
Honest reviews are hard to find these days. Thanks mate
Bloody good video. It's shows exactly what most people say about the Chipex system. If you are not good at it at first you'll need to layer and spend some time with it. Exactly like on this video. Good job sticking with it.
Bloody hell! That is actually amazing. I just purchased a BMW with minor Rock chips and I'm definitely going to give this a try. Thanks for the review.
Excellent video. You have given me the confidence I needed to order a kit and know that it will do the job.
Thank you.
Nice review. Good to see how you built the paint up in layers.
I used this on my car and it is amazing! I cannot stress enough how important it is to clean the excess paint off carefully. Imagine you are dusting off icing from a cake and you will get perfect results. Great video
Mandy Love you mean clean off the paint after you have applied it ?
Finally someone doing a proper job of it
Excellent job, I have to do my Rover and this is the best how to video yet. Thanks
Great results
I’ve just bought an Ioniq PHEV in Marina Blue and I know it’s got some chipping… thanks for the video, it’s convinced me to buy a kit!
It’s worth a try at least, and would be interesting to hear how you got on!
Seen mixed results with it and I think you've proven the key (and it's the same.with all painting jobs) - patience. Build the layers take your time and that is a near perfect job
Great to see an honest , unbiased review. I’m 100% sure if it was rubbish, you would’ve said so. The results seem to speak fo themselves. Thanks for the video.
I'm still happy with the product, and in anything, I buy and review, or test out, if it's rubbish, I'm more than happy to be 100% honest and say so. I'm a grumpy old sod most of the time, so I don't hold back :)
Great video! Just bought the kit myself!
Would be great to hear your own views on how you managed with the stuff!
At last someone has done a decent review and the results speak for themselves
Brilliant mate just bought kit for the bimmer 👍
I'm so glad I watched your video I just ordered this and your results are amazing in my opinion I hope I get these results
Best of luck, but do things slowly! That seems to be the knack… slowly, bit by bit and it gives good results.
Yea I will seen your results blown away I have a black Passat cc hopefully this will get her looking better cheers mate
nicely done sir. i have just got my own kit for my Panther Black Focus.
Mogsy28uk what year is the focus and did it work ?
This is the best video I've seen on ChipEx/touch up kits.
I don't wanna know what the box does as recommended, as many videos are. I wanna know what results someone with half a clue can achieve! And what did/didn't work.
Cheers from Cambridge! 😁
Carpainter hear! If you launch any type of projectile at any type of vehicle finish it's going to ding! or chip a chunk out off it. Don't blame the manufacturers. it's not bullet proof. 😂you did a good job, luckily it was a white car,and not a metallic silver, etc.looks nice, well done.
Showing my age here.. but... back in the day (cough), paint on cars seemed to be about 1 inch thick and bricks would appear to just bounce off it and be scruff-free! Nowadays, it feels like the paint is 1 micron thick and a flea coughing makes chunks fall off :) Mind you it could also be my driving style :) - Thanks for the comment!
Great video thanks. Had my car a week and someone has gouged a chunk out of my spoiler. I'm guessing its going to take a while to build up the paint and I'm concerned about the colour match as it has metallic flecks in, but I will give it a try... kit is on order!
Claire F it would be great to know how you manage with the repair. White is an easy colour to match... Your colour though....
@@TechRealityGlasgow I'll let you know if it ever turns up.... I'm not impressed with their delivery time 🙁
I just purchase a kit for my ZC33S in "Speedy Blue" (ZWG) hopefully I will be able to fix all the rock chips and scratches I've gotten on my ride.
Top video, just ordered the same for my car off the back of it. Many thanks
I just did some more paint work there from my original kit yesterday.... and covered up my chips with ease. Hope you have the same results!
Great video my fellow Scot
Just ordered this kit after seeing your post and vid on the FB ad..
I've got a met silver 308 so we'll see how the kit is with that.. I'll post my thoughts when I've done it, best weather for it currently with it being so hot.
Facebook ad? Heck… that’s worrying as I never trust anything off Facebook adverts!!!! I ordered direct, sprays do that for anything major!! Best of luck!!
Yea I know.. most of the ads are utter rubbish (wanted to put something else!) and fake as you like but after watching your video I went to the site direct and grabbed a kit
@@lawrenceeverest1286 phew! My inner panic can ease now!!!! I’ll be really interested to know how you get on! White is easy I reckon, so getting info back from others is talk interesting to me, more so when I decide to change the colour of the car!
Brilliant video
Great video thanks. On the strength of that I ordered Chipex. Let's hope it's as good as it appears.
Nice video.
Thanks for the feedback, very much appreciated!
Have to say I totally agree with your statement about modern water based car paint being abysmal. I have a Volvo XC40, and I swear a bug only has to look at the paint funny and it chips. My partners Skoda Kodiak is slightly better, but I only mean slightly!
On a side note, at work, we run 10 buisness cars and all end up road rashed, and having had a heart attack at the repair cost, I decided to have a punt at repairing one of the metallic silver Mondeo's (with the gaffers permission mind) with the chipex kit. Repairs were near invisible and have stood up to a year of pretty much constant use and twice weekly washes. Did so well the boss decided to order kits for the rest of the motors too, and now I earn a little overtime tidying the chips up every few months.
Top review!
Yep, they are to soft. You should see the state of my Lotus Elise's paint after 14 years. Its got thr point where its not worth maintaining because its so weak now even claying it will scratch it badly.
I see a promotion in your future! You showed great initiative.
That area of my Ioniq (intense blue) is covered in ships and rash, my car has only covered 18k miles. I've ordered a Chipex kit so hopefully I can make it at least better.
White is the saviour for chips.. it just hides them much easier! I used to always go for a non-white car but the chips used to drive me crazy!!!! Touch wood the paint helps you out!
@@TechRealityGlasgow I completely agree. Metallic blue or black is scratched and chipped so easily. I can't imagine what my car will be like after 100k.
@@benellis7427 I would love to know how you get on with the touch up kit you get!
Nice to see a Scottish youtuber a d I like your simple style, some funny bits too,. Ioniq is a good car 👍🏾. I've got a polar white Hyundai i30N, and got a big chip on the bonnet. So I'm not sure chipex would fix that. I don't want any evidence of it if I was to fix it.
Chipex by name.... and same by nature! I would say that when you get to anything larger than 1/4 of an inch (Old School here) then large touch ups are not going to be hidden very well if they are on a really noticeable section of the car... I bought the Ioniq Hybrid again there, and have been using the same pack I bought for the last model, and it is still keeping those nasty holes hidden!
I’m going to need the patience of a saint, have about 30 decent size chips on my car 😅🙈 excellent job 👍
If you are like me, expect to panic, sweat, curse, shake, sweat some more, walk away, wipe the tear from your eye, and gently sweep, poke, fill, wipe, sweat, and then stand back amazed wondering where the hell that chip mark went to!!
My car is exactly the same... more chips than a McCains factory.
It does appear as though it acts as a bit of a filler as well with the layering. Got a couple of paint dings on the driver side door where people have banged there passenger doors into my car and chipped the paint off.
It just looks like it’s a matter of not rushing and taking your time in my case I rushed a bit so going to do a small chip on my door again when the wife’s not here nagging great video really demonstrated well
Ah so we're all getting new motors right now then. I used to sort out a whole host of mechanical issues with old school motors but these modern cars that are built around a computer system with cheap electronics have scuppered all that. I bet when you felt that cloth, you were glad to get the gloves too. Stone chips in a white car are total horror, trust me I know lol, they make it look awful but this kit looks pretty good, I remember getting a metallic blue people carrier and I actually bought a touch up kit with it at point of sale due to the cost of the car. Fiddly but not too bad a finish and worth the effort I reckon. Nice work Mr. Keenan :)
I'm absolutely useless when it comes to cars and even more so in paint and repairs!!! It's galling though, that you get a new car and the paint on it is absolutely useless when facing the elements! Those micro fibre cloths make my skin crawl.... like cotton wool.... ARGH!!!! Now I'm scratching thinking about it LOL!!! I will add a little bit more to the large chip as I noticed it today in the sunlight, different angle.... but at least I'll not panic as much as I was yesterday!
Great stuff, convinced me to have a go too. Looks like patience and build up/clean back (repeat) is the way forward ?
Same here.
Was not too sure what to make of Chipex as there is no clear coat (apparantly formulated in the paint per FAQ).
I have wondered whether any well matched paint + solvent would let you blend in the exact same manner, and I am sure this would be the case. However, on the basis Chipex is formulated as a single (matched colour + clear coat) durable paint, vs colour matched paint that needs to be clear coated to protect the colour, the added premium seems worth it.
Good looking car that, I always fancied white but couldn't ever face the idea of having to wash it every other day! Impressive job fixing those chips though - the end result is perfect and as you say the kit will last the time you have the car so really is great long term value - because chips are just guaranteed nowadays while car manufacturers save by adding the least amount of paint and hard coat finish possible.
c0ff33 t1me white cars are the easiest to maintain as they show up dirt the least! (Opposite of Black)
Wow, those are a lot of chips. My C class Mercedes has no chips at all. But it does have intents from all the stones hitting it on the highway.
Can I ask what you are using with the blue cloth to ensure you get even pressure? The black square I mean, did it come with the kit?
Yes, they supply this sort of sponge type block, that means you just hold it lightly, and gently press. That's the weird part, you feel as though you should be pressing hard, when in fact you do hold it lightly, and gently with next to zero pressure just swirl it aorund.
Use a tooth pick to apply the paint works a treat, its really really good.....
It is, and the knack is slowly slowly slowly..... Due to the small size of some chips you tend to rush it, and it never quite works well.
Great video !
You can buy the paint & blender separate look under Kit Accessories on main web page
Single paint bottle 30ml £19.95 Comes with 10 x Microbrushes
Half Price Touch Up Blending Solution 60ml £4.95
Thanks for a great review! Did you use a hair dryer to speed up the drying process or did you just let it air dry?
I let it air dry. Since its very small amounts being used, it only takes a few minutes anyway. The real issue is not having patience! You dab, fill the hole, then wait a few minutes then you get tempted to touch it! If you have a good look to the thing when you do it, resit touching it as you will mess it up.... I know from experience!!! Ten minutes and then another light dab and finish off is usually all it needs.
Thanks a lot for the quick reply! Should I use the blending solution between the fill ins? Fill in, wait 5-10 min, blend to get rid of excess paint around the chip, fill again and repeat?
@@phertzman Yep. Dab paint, then solution, with hardly any pressure at all... just enough to skim the surface... any slight holes, and edges not looking right at the first stage, ignore them, and deal with in the second.. honestly the hardest part if controlling yourself from touch this paint!! I'm just glad I have a White car as you can get away with a lot on that colour!
cool video thanks dude
Will this be any good on a plastic bumper? And will it cover larger scrapes ?
It's deigned for chips.... hence the name! Large scrapes, I think body shop is the best place to visit and ask!
Thanks 4 this video. Very Helpful.
Thanks for suffering my video work!
Good informal video .. Thanks
I have a 10mil chip of paint to do,it's not deep but wondered if you think this would work?Great video
On some larger chips I had, I decided to dab and smooth the paint, let it dry and then build up on top of that until I got it level and could smooth things off. I suppose the bottom line is... to try or not to try!! Thanks for the feedbqck, very much appreciated!
Thank you for your response I will give it a go😊
@@trimad6128 If you drop the company an email they can answer any questions you have. I found them to be pretty good!
Tech Reality cool thanks!
Great video, the solution to what I was looking for. How do you think it would hold up to a jet wash and general time too I suppose?
Well, I use a pressure wash occasionally and do the usual sponge and hand wash and for the stuff I have done, it's still intact. I suppose all depends on size or repair, location etc...
Why is there no clear coat to protect the paint, thank you for the video
The waxing side will protect things, and has done so far on the stuff I have done already. No harm in covering anything with any solution you like to use yourself.
Thanks for your reply and I'll use a good quality wax and give it a try
The Chipex paint comes blended with its own lacquer - hence no need for a top coat. So it’s not quite the same as ‘ordinary’ paint.
When I watch it I miss my trusted and ultra reliable 12 y.o. car with all it's dents, scuffs and scratches which just did not bother me at all.
You are just like the majority of human beings around the globe, but for the few of us *car guys* we do care about our rides and those scratches and chips are an eye sore. So we definitely can benefit from "cheap" but good kits like these.
Thanks for the review, How are you finding the Hyundai paint for chips? My Kia's paint seems really brittle and picks up chips like no other car I've owned.
It's prone to chips at the front (as you might expect) but overall it's not been too bad. The Honda Accord I used to have (from new) the paint would fall off if a bug hit it anywhere, it was that pathetic! Being White though... I'm sure there are more chips there... but I try to ignore them if I can!
Do you think the Chipex blending solution will work with different brands of touch up paint?
I don't see why not... but the only way to see would be to try it!
@@TechRealityGlasgow
Thanks for the reply.
I think the paint is specifically formulated to work in this way. That's not to say that other paints won't work but you should probably try them on a scrap piece of metal rather than directly on the car.
Did mine today 100+ chips bloody horrible 'live on busy main road ' a nightmare, can't wash car without risking my life is how it feels.
great video !!
hows the repairs after a couple years?
Perfect! The paint has remained in place on the repairs done!
Hi Grt video how does the car paint repair look a yr or so after? Thanks in advance ...
Steve, I cannot see the repair as it's, just blended in, along with the dirt on the car! Original paint still in place, though new chips do need some touch ups done on them!
Hi Tech Reality I have just ordered some this morning after watching your review & excellent video, fingers crossed its also like yours and nearly a new car .
@@addicted2soulfulvinyl I'm not a car/paint guy and if I can do it, anyone can! I'm fortunate though that the car is White, so I would assume that saves a world of grief for matching! Hope you get good results, and just take your time, as rushing into it seems to be the norm!
Thanks for video. Going to have to get some of this as my bonnet been really damaged this week thanks to the cheap road relaying in UK!
Great video. How has the cover held up?
Sam Davison the cover is still perfect and I can’t find the scratches unless I stare for ages! Got a large one to deal with now, so may do a shot of that cover up and see how that goes. So... I’m still very happy and that’s after a number of washes, with nothing failing on the paint side.
Tech Reality thanks for the super fast reply. I have a few nasty chips and have actually brought the official ford touch up kit from them, but theirs does not have any blending method in the instructions. Just to dab the paint and then apply a clear coat. I can only imagine that will leave a paint blob :/
I'm impressed. Has anybody tried this stuff on an electric orange Ford focus ST MK.2? It's a beautiful colour, but a tricky one to work with by all accounts. I have a few chips on the door edges that I'd like to touch in, I'm tempted to give this a try.
If they have a colour match on the web site then I don't see why it should not work if you take your time!
@@TechRealityGlasgow I'm sure the colour will be close, but the original paint is a three part coating with a pearlescent layer and a metallic fleck. I just wondered if this can really match it closely. I've ordered a platinum set to give it a try anyway, I will report back....
@@bowser515 Phew... based on that I'd be utterly amazed if it works!!! Like anything though... until you try it... very interested in how you get on, best of luck!
@@bowser515 don't know if you're still around, but I have a pearlescent tangerine scream Focus ST and the chipex kit comes with 2 stage paint accordingly, just wondering how you got on with yours as I'm just about to get started? Thanks
@@MartinArscott1 hey looking in to buy a kit for myself with the same tangerine scream. does the color match? how were the results?
Used it today, didn't receive the blue buffing cloth so used a microfibre instead, it's Ok but tbh i was expecting better,M
Well, I've touched up a few more spots, and on the white car paint here, everything really is flawless! Maybe wipe the current stuff off and try again, as I did have to play around with the overall pressure and rub technique to get things looking right. Or.. maybe try another brand, compare and see if it's any worse or better!
Like watching paint dry 😂
Treat the video as relaxation therapy or sleep therapy! Works for me every time!
Is the 'blending solution actually metholated spirits
PsBandofMen it does not smell of mentholated spirit... but clearly it’s something along those lines.
@@TechRealityGlasgow Ok, thanks for quick reply
This is what i was guessing. I think i'm just going to get a small bottle of the paint for about £7 elsewhere (30ml) I was only here for the magic 'blending solution'
I hope you get the right shade of paint... it's that more than anything else I was concerned about. ANyway, I'm still happy with the stuff even after all this time, and the stuff i have done is still there covering the damage.
I assume this is best used in summer? So the paint drys quickly
Honestly, as long as the area is dry, and because it’s small amounts of paint you work with, things dry pretty fast.
@@TechRealityGlasgow I've ordered a large kit just picked up a Audi A4 avant and its in nalry perfect condition other than a bonnet and front drivers side wing look like they have been shot blasted and lettingthe car down...... gonna give this a go before the paint shop worth it for 40 quid
Not holding out much hope though 🙏
@@phantombigballs8165 if the work on the car is large areas then this kit isn’t going to do much I feel. It’s got spots and smaller scratches really. But, at least you get to play with the stuff before taking it to the body shop!!
@@TechRealityGlasgow they are all small stone chips there's just a fair few
I used the product today, it doesn't work on my car. My car is medium gray color. After applying all the application, it turned out there is a huge cloud from the new paint around the treated area. It makes it worse than before. I don't know what to do with it now.
I would contact Chipex, and see if they can assist. Like anything involving paint, the usual way to work is a very small amount of paint, and you dab away at it. As for a huge cloud from the new paint, from my limited knowledge of cars and paint work in general, my first though is, when you put the paint on, it was onto the original paintwork, and not over a re-spray or other touch up that may have been tried? As they create a match to the colour you specify, there has to be something else happening here that is not the norm.
I did contact Chipex at UK, I live in the US. It takes the next day to get the reply. They told me to apply more/excess Blending Solution which will get rid of the cloud area. I tried and it works, 95% of the cloud area has been gone. The cloud area is the area that I dab away at it. When I saw you video, it looks so easy, but when I did it, it wasn't easy that I thought.
They are checking if they sent me the right color, I asked for Gray Metallic, they may not send me the right color. The area that I need to treat is a little deep, I may have to apply several times.
I have a deep scratch on my handle, and I have had to build the layers of paint up. Light dabs, wipe it, let it dry for a day or so, clean and then add on more paint a small bit at a time, and it's now pretty much invisible. The one learning experience I have had with this sort of thing is that it's not a 5 minutes job to do and patience is needed to get it done right. Thankfully the scratches I am dealing with are not large, and my car is White, so that in itself will be a major help in sorting this sort of stuff out.
My concern is. How will it last after a few washes?
Im fine so far, since doing this I have washed the car over twenty times and it’s still as good as the day I painted it! I suppose it all boils down to size of the paint job.
did you buy the silver gold or platinum kit ?
I bought the Platinum Kit and will be using it again very soon on some more chips that are in difficult places! Will see how they turn out!
Tech Reality thanks for the quick reply, did you find any negatives with the product ?
To be honest, I cannot find anything to complain about other than at the person doing the work on the car, and that was me! Pretty well idiot proof if you take your time and get over the nerves.
Tech Reality should you allways wait for the paint to dry before wipeing it away with the cloth ?
You need to let it set for a bit, that's the guessing bit really. 5 minutes seemed to be enough, and then lightly skim over the paint with the cloth. You may be tempted to press, but don't do that, just let the cloth skim over the paint and it soon levels off.
If that was me after 2 goes I'd have used a cocktail stick or a matchstick
Well... I wanted to use what was in the kit... but I've did the same or just wore a rubber glove and smeared it on! Improvisation is the name of the game!
@@TechRealityGlasgow I agree, I wasn't criticising you, my apologies for that.
@@dubtownman9508 Hey! I did not take it as a criticism, just that like all these things, I tend to use what is supplied to see how it all works, since that what average mortal does when they buy stuff! Sometimes, the simple ways of doing things are better! Cheers for the comments, very much appreciated!
Dont do what I did and leave the paint to long it's a right bstard to get off.
Douglas Puglas I tend to remove it too soon!!!!
If i had a white car id just use tippex
Can we see a video of you doing that? 😂😂
I have a black Mercedes and used this product. One word RUBBISH
Paul Austin I’m still doing touch ups on my car, as chips happen, and it’s still working beautifully for me. Maybe the white assists in the covering. If you find another product that you consider better, I’m sure people would love to know about it.
The colour doesn’t even match , there is no easy way or quick fix for stone chips so into my workshop and done professionally.
I thought I would give it a go and it hasn’t worked
Why does he waffle on, just get to the point. Can’t waste my life listening to him.
firebladecymru at least you have time in your life to leave a comment... thanks for using that valuable time on such a waffling video production!
Tip: Turn Auto Focus off on your camera.
I did point that out in the video that I had mucked up with the auto focus. I shall sort that out on my next Chipex video!
100% crap. Dont works on scratches
More information would be good, considering that I, like many others have had good results?
