Something very similar is Langka. www.langka.com It looks like the Dr. Colorchip is a kit including your desired touch-up paint color and the solvent for levelling out the chip repair. Langka is just the solvent. Buy touch-up from www.paintscratch.com.

I've used Langka with perfectly acceptable results. Note that nothing will ever make a chip completely indistinguishable from an unchipped painted area. But, levelling out the paint blob with Langka makes it look a lot better. I would recommend it.

Do you just wipe the dr. color chip on like a coat of wax?

I've got a bunch of chips and it would take me a long time to fill each one individually.

I heard this worked pretty well.

I did a refinish project on a metalic '85 and posted the Whole procees here; search on my name.

I researched the Langka approach and found it was basically putting down a spot of laquer paint then leveling it with thinner, cover with clear coat if two stage. This would work well on non-metalic. In my case the thinner pulled the metalic out so it didn't work well. Tedious if lots of spots and can look like freckles if paint is not dead color accurate.
