Dr. Colorchip = underwhelming.
I'm going to second RickM's review--this stuff just doesn't work all that well. The solution is too thin to really fill chips and the solvent tends to take out most the paint that actually got into the chip. I was going to take pics for comparison, but honestly my hood looks 70+% the same as it did before. It won't fill large chips, and deep chips are body colored but still visible because the paint is too thin to actually fill the chip. Basically only the only chips it really makes disappear are the ones that are too small to be annoying in the first place.
Also, even the road rash kit doesn't come with enough paint to really get the job done. I did my mirrors and bumper, then ran out of paint about 1/3 up my hood.

Update: got to take a look at the car in daylight after the paint had cured some
It looks better than it did under my work light last night, but it's still nowhere near perfect, or even very good.
Oddly, it seems to have done a better job on my mirrors and bumper (plastic) than on my hood or fenders. Don't know why that is. Bottom line, it colored most the pinhead-sized chips in my bumper, but anything bigger than that either didn't get colored or looks "rough" because the paint didn't fill the chip.
I think I'm going to try langka next, the colorchip paint is too thin.
