Overview
Chip happens. Even if the rest of your paint job is flawless, a little chip can really draw the eye to it, and unless you get it professionally repaired there’s not a really good way to go about fixing it. And since this is a pretty common problem with all of the debris and rocks that get flung at your car while on the highway, the chips can really start to stack up.
The Claim
EZ Chip Repair claims that because of their color matching process they’ll get the right color for your make and model so that the paint they send you matches your paint job perfectly. A lot of products on the market sell a one-shade-fits-all goop that is supposed to change to your car’s color during the application process. Many of these products get poor reviews, which is not surprising. But with their process of sending you the original color they’ve
The Hype
Most cars across the country have a chip or two in them, so there’s a broad market for this product. It’s working on the idea that no one likes to take their car in to have work professionally done, because it’s so expensive. If they can convince you that you can do it yourself quickly and easily at home, then they’ve got a good chance at making a sale.
The Cost
They get the price up to $47, taking the original price of $30, adding $7 for shipping, and an extra $10 for a second bottle of paint. It’s the complete kit though, including all you need to get the job done, the paint, the finisher, the cloth, the gloves. Perhaps they
The Commitment
The steps for this are relatively easy, and they have a pretty good instructional video that walks you through the process. From start to finish the job should only take you a few minutes, and most of that time is spent waiting for the paint to dry. If you have a lot of chips you can expect to spend that same amount of time for each area. They recommend breaking up big jobs into two foot by two foot sections in order to work more efficiently. Many times chips come in packs since there will be spots on the highway that have plenty of debris that gets flung at your all at once.
Evaluation
The thing that really sets EZ Chip Repair apart from the other repair kits we’ve seen is that they’ve got it down to the finer details, including the factory paint your car came with. Having all of the colors available is pretty impressive, and if you’re not exactly sure of how to find which paint your car has, they give you instructions on where to find it using tags in your car’s door or under the hood. This sort of precision is what makes the difference, rather than trying to convince you that their formula is sophisticated enough to change color depending on your car’s paint.
EZ Chip Repair is
earning our Thumbs Up rating, based on the positive feedback it’s been getting from real users, and that they’ve got a precision process down to a few easy steps. The main thing you don’t want to do when fixing paint problems on your car is make it look worse. That’s exactly what you get with a lot of the scratch and chip repair products you see being sold for less than this one.Our Recommendation
They talk about resale value, and little chips and dings can make someone think twice about buying your car, as it works on a subconscious level. If your car has an immaculate paint job they’ll assume the rest of it is in order as well. Also, by getting those chips repaired you’re preventing rain and other moisture from getting under your paint and causing bigger problems like bubbling and rusting. Sealing them up is a good way to maintain the integrity of your paint job, and also keeps it looking like the day you got it.

I recently received delivery of my 2015 Dodge Ram Tradesman C/V Cargo Van via truck transport from WI to WA State. With only 1300 miles on it the Dodge Bright White color is gorgeous all over. However, there are a number of very fine very light rather straight cuts on the paint due to the lot person or whomever who cut the protective film on the van when it first arrived at the Dodge Dealership in places to pull the rest of the film off. There are now about 6 cuts no longer than about one foot and not wide enough to get a fingernail into. Therefore, from what I am reading regarding products to remove fine scratches, I'm thinking the light cuts done with a razor-type cutter on my car might be the perfect candidates for this sort of scratch removal product.
I'm gonna go ahead and bite the dust and give the EZ Chip Repair product a chance, follow the directions thoroughly, and hope the now cold temps here in the NW are not too cold for correct drying of the stuff.
Any other suggestions before I proceed?
Thanks
I thing EZ Chip is the best. I have used Dr. Color Chip and it looks terrible. Dr. Color Chip get worse as time passes. EZ Chip stills looks unnoticeable years later.
I used EZ Chip and I can't even tell where I repaired the chips. It smooths out so flat it is unnoticeable. I polish and wax it after repair on both Dr. Color Chip and EZ Chip Repair.
I liked it so much I am reordering to repair newer chips. I loved it on my Mustang GT and Blazer. I must admit on my Corvette it was difficult to get the paint to stick. I guess EZ Chip was made for medal. When I got it to stick, it also looks great.
Thumbs up for EZ Chip.
This MF took my money and I haven't get the package they send me an email that the package was shipped with out tracking number this people are thieves.
SAVE YOUR MONEY does not work any better than regular touch up paint. Ithonk the solution your supposed to use to clean up the extra paint is no more than thin out rubbing compound. SCAM
Wouldn't know if this stuff works or not. Ordered and paid for it July 31, it is now Sept.13, 2014 and still no kit has arrived. WHAT A SCAM
As you can see from the post by John Jon the kind of people employed by EZChip.com or perhaps the owwner of the company. What a rip off. I was looking for a solution to the chips for my vehicle. But after reading these reviews - I WOULD NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THEM.
And I suggest you not either.
Well ken it looks like you WERE sent replacement colors. And still you try to trash other people.if dr color chip works so well why did you order from ez chip? I think your just a person who likes to complain ant try to get shit for free. I call that internet assholes.... Well if the shoe fits , shove it up your ass.
I can't say how well the WC ChipRepair product works since I can't try it because the color they sent isn't even close to the color specified in the order! No way will I put that on my car. I have not gotten a reply to my inquiries from the company yet to either replace or refund the order. Never again. (BTW, Dr. ColorChip does work.)
I used that product and had very good results.i had 6or7 chips on the hood of my white BMW330. And it worked as stated. Nothing will make them vanish, but this stuff worked VERY well for me. and i realy have a hard time finding then now
This product absolutely does NOT work. I bought it the other day; as the post above, it's nothing more than a very expensive bottle of touch up paint. The "step 2" liquid which is supposed to flatten and remove the "spillover" paint you apply to the chip does not work at all. It's junk. You're better off just buying touch up paint from your dealer for a whole lot less cost. I called to complain and they tried to blame me for it - eventually they told me that mineral spirits would remove the excess paint but even then it was difficult to get it off. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT!!
