I have OEM paint which has the metallic chips in it and may go that route. I'll just have to sand it and polish afterwards. Wish me luck!

Tips and recommendations are welcome and appreciated!
I use it on my CBM, but I literally filled one pin hole that looked like a dot. Can't say I remember any flakes in it. Dr. ColorChip has it's uses, but not right for everything. The good news is, you can't really fuck anything up as the thinner will remove it completely if you want.

I started with the squeegee but found it was overkill for the few areas I was hitting, so I used the tiny brush.
