Stone Chip Repair
Has anyone touched up A51, Montego blue? What kit did you use and how good was the colour match? In Canada we have a company similar to Dr Color Chip that I used, but the colour so dark it looks like Monaco blue. The flake is spot on but the base is way too dark. I'm incredibly disappointed, and I'll be spending my evening removing the touch up paint. Greatly appreciate any feedback from people who have personal experience to share, and a recommendation for a kit. Initially I wanted something easy to use, but now I think I'd prefer an exact colour match.

Thanks for the recommendations. I ended up removing the touch up paint. I suppose one good thing about the kit is that the leveler was able to remove the paint even after a week. I originally ordered from Chipfixx, who I had contacted for help, but didn't get a reply. I've seen some good reviews of their colour matching, but usually on black or other non-metallic paint. Their system works fine (saw plenty of complaints about how well the paint stays in the chip, but I didn't have this problem), just really disappointed in the colour match and the post-sale service.

Well folks, I'm eating my words. Chipfixx got back to me today and are mixing a new batch, free of charge. I emailed them mid-late last week, so I spoke too soon in my post above. They've indicated based on pics I sent them that they can see where the colour is off in terms of mix and will adjust accordingly.
