Dr. Colorchip?

My Jerez M3 has unfortunately been plagued with "daily driver syndrome" and has a fair amount of road rash on the front bumper, with some rock chips on the hood. I had initially planned on doing a respray but lately I've had a hard time justifying the $5k+ bill, just to have the issues arise again.

I daily drive this car on the terrible highway of I4 (if you know Central Florida, you'll know what I mean). I did extensive research and found Dr. Colorchip to be an (albeit cheap) but decent solution.

Considering I am not after show car perfection, rather a simple solution, it looks promising. Does anyone have experience with Dr. Colorchip? If so, I would appreciate your thoughts and any pics of results you've had with it.

I have it, use it and I like it. If you have a bunch of areas to touch up the dab and smear method can take a while. If the chips are deep plan on a few passes. They have kit options for doing touch up to larger areas of road rash where you smear a larger area with a squeegee.
