Well. I have to say, I tried this system myself today on my '02 Racing Green 75. It is absolutely brilliant.
I can't imagine why, Mr Bitsy, you smeared it over a hole area like that? There's no reference to doing that in the instructions. I think you have to be extremely patient and dab onto each individual chip. Extremely tedious, yes, but the result is extremely good. I dabbed on with the tiny bud, immediately smeared with my finger (in the glove) and rubbed with the fluid after about 2 or 3 minutes. It is going to take a lot of patience, bad backs and sore fingers though. |

However on the bigger chips the paint needs to be built up layer on layer with a suitable amount of time for it to harden. Once the paint is level then a final application as of the finer chips will finish it off. I do think that the darker the colour the better the coverage, Silver is probably one of the worst to do. I think a half litre bottle of removal fluid would have been more appropriate because I think that will run out long before the paint. I'm with you on the time, patience and the bad back anyone looking to do it in 5 minutes is going to be a little disappointed. Russ

I have only read the begining of this post and looked at the initial photos, and by the look of the photos the paint was applied with a brush, I think when covering a large area of chips you are supposed to apply the paint using a rag and smear it on leaving only a very thin layer to rub off at least this is what I did and it worked perfectly

The instructions on side two clearly say to cover road rash, smear the paint over the area with a rag. I did this, but obviously too thick

Yes and no.
The excess was removed by mixing the SealAct removing liquid and acetone. However, I am left with some 'staining' - DrColorChip does say in the instructions not to leave paint on the clearcoat as it can haze. I will take some pictures of the 'staining' for comments, but I don't think it will remove even with machine polishing.
