2008+ lancer paint damage, with Drcolorchip

Well, With all the paint problems the 08+ lancer is having I found it appropriate to make up this review on Drcolorchip.com paint repair kit.

My battle with Mitsubishi has lost so I decided now that the weather is starting to warm up I would try and repair the damage as best I could, enjoy! I will be posting as I go along with pictures of my progress over the next couple weeks.


1st(The damage)
EWWWWW! Drivers side




Passenger side





More to come over the weeks, I work 2 jobs so not alot of free time during the day so bare with me!

Chips in the Hood




After First coat on side skirt(Not bad, Sun was going down so bad pics I will post up fresh ones later)

This is why I bought the mud guards, I have heard this is a problem and the mud guards do a good job of eliminating/reducing side skirt chips.

Hood and bumper are a different matter. I hear a clear bra could be the answer.

this damage is WITH mud guards from rally armor. They have helped but not as much as i had hoped.



Just before I put on Rally armor Mud guards



3 months after....



As you can see it is still getting worse
