I have some deep scratches not quite to primer and then I do have scratches to primer. I don't have a paint tester to see how much clear I have to work with and then the chips and scratches to the primer there is nothing I can do about those. Dr. Colorchip did not work well at all. And the factory chip paint hides the primer but still doesn't look good. I used the DA Meg's mf kit with d300 and 301 and got all the light scratches out with ease. Great kit for sure for newbs like myself. I then put opti-coat over my truck but having second thought about the deeper scratches I'm having regrets of doing it. I know paint will not be totally perfect but what do you all think?
 
Did not fill in good at all. I followed all the directions and watched the various YouTube videos. Can't put it over the opti-coat can I?
 
Black 2012 Toyota tundra paint was in decent shape. They touched it before I found this site. Typical dirty mf they use an no telling what else they used.

no i dont think it will bond to the opticoat...youre likley going to have to polish the Oc off on that panel, repair the defects, and re apply OC to that panel.

i wonder is something was off on your prep for the dr colorchip...alot have used it with good results.
 
I did wash ad strip the truck before I did it. How will I know when I have polished enough off? The spots aren't really bad but my OCD will bother me.
