Lanka.com

I have alot of little chips in my hood that show white and a few on the fenders and there really getting to me...prbably 45 all together maybe all really small...I heard about this product called Lanka. It fills it in and uses the body paint from Nissan...

Anyone use any of this for many nicks ??
If so, what and how much do I order from the site ??

Yup. Purchased Langka around a month back. Great stuff. I had the same problem as you. Langka recommends just making a big blob, but I recommend making a few light coats of touch up and then langka to smooth it out. Great results.

I have (2) 2oz bottles of their Langka "Blob" remover.... Still brand new and sealed in the plastic wrap. Comes with plastic card applicator as well. They'll sell 4oz for $29.95 + $4.95 shipping = $34.90. I'm selling 4oz for only $25 shipped... Definitely a great deal. Lemme know if your interested...

You need the hard plastic card (which you'll wrap in a t-shirt or sheet) and something to clean your paint (3M adhesive remover or Langka's paint cleaner).

Also, a little artists brush and some clearcoat if you prefer. The clearcoat made the larger chips nearly invisible.

The keys:
1. Shake your paint REALLY well - For a few minutes
2. Many light coats
3. Toothpick or match stick

Nope, the paint fills the chip. The langka helps smooth the "blob" of paint out so it's flush with your factory paint.
