I bought the drcolorchip set for my QP a while ago and have to say that the colour match was ok,
but it really depends on where the chips are that you are trying to fix...in my opinion it is not as easy to apply as the video makes it look to get a good finish,
but maybe I am just bad at it...one other thing to bear in mind is that there are various shades within colours... so in my case, Blu Nettuno comes in 5 different shades.

In GR it's not easy to find people that own cars of this brand and still be simple.. Exclusive cars here are a mean of self-promotion of the owner, and not enthusiasm...

If you are the exception to the normal Nikos, then be proud of the fact, be an enthusiast.

One of the last updates: I got back from work, but had a coffee- a double espresso- at 20:00, and despite tired, i still had energy inside...Got to the garage, fixed the grille, cause there was a screw missing the other time and i used stuff from liquidleather.co.uk (specific code for the leather) to fix the worn aereas of the driver's seat. Anyone knows the point, and i'm unhappy to see this in almost all 4200s. Painted now, the colour needs one day to become the same as the factory colour... Let's see....

If anyone has a better solution for this, please share.

Hi Nikos,
Will be interesting to see how it looks once it has had time to dry and is buffed,
the bolster on my 550 was so bad, I had to have a new piece of leather put into the seat,
but I think you have caught yours at the right time and the result will be good :D

A quick tip if you want a temp fix for black leather....Black shoe polish.. A very small bit on a cloth and rubbed into the crack will bring it back to black.........You do need to touch in now and again and it does come off and not buff up too much as you don't want it shiny..But it works and good if you are selling your car....
