I think one or two have said way back, that Dr. Colorchip wasn't really ideally suited for dealing with scratches, but I would say that's untrue to a point.
I say this because the Dr C-Chip system is one of the easiest to work with, apply the paint, and it stays put, dries fast, and can be quickly leveled.
I have repaired a small scratch on my junker with it, but I didn't get too anal about it, but as has been mentioned, it will be a lot less visible for sure. The other is that it will protect against having rust occur as I assume this scratch is down to the metal, correct?
The other advantage of just buying the kit, is then having it on hand for future damage. The small bottle can do multiple dozens of chips, and so with the sealact leveling solution.
If you should for say need just an individual item down the road, let's say another bottle of paint for a different vehicle, or are running out of the sealact solution, etc. These can be purchased individually direct from Dr C-Chip.
What you might notice with trying to fill a scratch, is that you'll notice some shrinkage in that the paint may not fill adequately in just one application and leveling of paint.
In that scenario, I would do a first application, get it leveled and all excess paint removed. Then, wait a day or three, come back again and repeat until you build up a number of layers until satisfied.
One beauty of Dr C-Chip. You mess up, simply remove the application with the sealact solution and start over.
Good lighting, like a light on a stand will be an aid to help see good.
One doesn't necessarily have to apply, and then smear like their videos show, you can brush it in also if that seems to work better, wait the required time, then level. For a scratch, probably the best method to level would be to rub lightly perpendicular to the scratch, not with it.
The learning curves will be how long to wait before coming behind to level-smooth, and this can vary a little bit due to temps applied. But usually the range is about 4-10 minutes on average.
To level, you start with a slightly firmer pressure to begin to remove the excess, but then as you go, you then use less and less pressure with each following wipe, until at the very end when it looks like you are almost perfect, only just very lightly move the little towel across the paint with no pressure, and let the solution do the work without any pressure applied.
And as I said, if, say a week later, it should look like it shrunk, no harm, no foul to apply another coat or two. just degrease first if you've applied a wax-sealant.
Hope this helps.
