I have a couple of those kits for 2 of my cars, never had to use them...... yet. I think it would be fine for a driver, you may want a little more for something that you "care" about.

I have great luck with it, I bought it for my MM and my MarkVIII.
I have several best paint trophies after using it.
It takes some effort and experimentation to get it to work right but it works well.

+1, the paint is very good but it's way over hyped and doesn't work as well as they show it. If you do manage to fill in the chip the blob eliminator works ok but the paint gets flat looking and looses it's shine. Then you try and buff it to a shine you buff the paint back out of the chip.

You need to give the car a good wash, claybar, light/medium polish, alcohol wipe down(maybe even a soft brush around the area of the chips), apply, remove, light polish then seal. I did #104 with dozens of small chips and did not have one where the paint popped out.

I could never get it to blend. It would just pull back out.

I also didn't use the dab and smear technique. I used the plastic toothpick type brush with the small fuzzy on the end, dipped directly in the bottle of the paint, applied to each chip making sure that paint got completely into the chip bottom and sides, then checking each chip after a few minutes to make sure the paint blob was above the surface of the original paint and adding more as required, let dry for a few hours before using the solution to remove. So easy a caveman could do it......a patient one.

My buddy has a Rover that was peppered like my 300A's hood. He showed me the results, looks great.

Hope it looks as good all over my black hood when I do it.
