it's too good to be true. honestly, it may or may not be a perfect fix, but for me its close enough to be way more preferable than having your entire hood repainted. if the chip has pierced the clear coat that is your only other option.

this may not be an option at the time being... repaint.... but then put a clear bra on the front end, but have it done by a proffessional so that it looks right.

These aren't really big chips but they look like Craters to me hehehe. I rcvd them all following my buddy to a car show, his car was wearing Hoosier Quick times, and when I realized what was happening I was hit prolly 10-15 times from little rocks sticking to his Soft rubber.

Yes, Langka will fix exactly that. If you read the instructions on their website it explains how... basically Langka has developed a 'blob remover' that allows you to paint over the skip and then remove the extra 'blob' paint without harming the factory finish. You remove excess paint until the fix is smooth with and blended. You then seal and your done.

Again, nothing can substitute for a repaint, but this can be a 99% fix and will save you hundreds of dollars minimum.

i should note, langka will only fix paint scratches and is not a substitute for body damage (i.e. cracks, holes, etc.) if those chips were deep enough to actually crack the panel then you would need to first fill the body with bondo, sand, etc. obviously that is a bigger job but i would recommend trying it because the worst that would happen is repair/replacement which you would alternatively do anyway.
