Nov 4, 2018 68 45 los angeles I just received the Tesla Paint Repair Kit and looking forward to using it. I watched some videos on youtube, but there were not that many to be really helpful (really only found 2 that was helpful). Has anyone used this before? Is there a need for this to be done with someone with experience or is this doable for a novice? Any tips advice (or links to helpful instructions as the one provided was not enough for me as a visual learner)? Thank you!

AAAAH! Thank you. I was wondering why there were so few videos on how to use on youtube.

Nov 15, 2017 121 123 Houston I purchased the Color N Drive kit, since it supports the Multicoat pearl white. It fills in the chips pretty decently. It was difficult to put the pearl part over the top of the base white. I didn't put a lot of coats/layers down as I was running short on time. I plan to go at it again. It did work well though to hide the black that was showing before the chip repairs. X

Agreed on this. It is not perfect, but it makes it less noticeable. More than enough for my purposes. X

Nov 4, 2018 68 45 los angeles Update on my little project. The paint repair kit is pretty good! It's not perfect, but the damage is now barely noticeable except when upclose and focusing on it. Living in LA, dings and such happen. This makes it look a bit better. Before and after pics below.
