SRT8U Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I just purchased a Torch Red Dodge Charger SRT8 and noticed several pin size chips in the paint to the undercoat. Is there a way to use some red touch up paint and buff it out? I also have lots of fine swirls. Any advise would be appreciated. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Adam Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Hi Bill, there is a process that I found to be effective. It's not easy, not at all. The company is called Langka. Check out www.Langka.com. The company and product was brought to my attention by our friend and customer, John in Nampa, Idaho, who used it on his red Corvette ZR-1. Chips are a bummer, and a clear-film type bra is a good way to avoid additional chips. Swirls, now that's where we come in. I have videos, you can read testimonials all over the forum, and the Famous Junkman has many videos on removing swirls. Thanks for joining, congrats on your car, and we'll be happy to help in the swirl removal and paint perfection category! My $0.02. -Adam;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 mikegeaney Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 You also might want to check out something called Dr. Colorchip. A member here used it with impressive results. I have been thinking about getting a kit for my Maxima. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 70'sChevyGirl Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Bummer on the rock chips. Those are hard to avoid. My husband always reminds me not to drive so close to the person in front of me just for that very reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Memphis Senior Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 My daughter's told me that I have to grow up soon. :lolsmack: Teresa. My daughter told me the same thing many times. My answer was always the same. "I have to get old. I DON'T have to grow up." She finally gave up and got me this Tshirt for my birthday 11 years ago. Still true today.

Question
SRT8U
I just purchased a Torch Red Dodge Charger SRT8 and noticed several pin size chips in the paint to the undercoat. Is there a way to use some red touch up paint and buff it out? I also have lots of fine swirls.
Any advise would be appreciated.
Bill
