I am worried about the color match as well. I have Marrakesh Brown and the current chip fixes are darker brown with no metallic flakes. I was thinking about trying the touch up pain Langka offers. Anyone have a better suggestion?

The repair turned out well, but honestly, I was expecting a better color match from the colorchip guys, since that's all they do. The color looked good from the bottle, but ended up appearing more orange than the original paint. I had the same results with the chili red paint on my '03 MINI. So now you know why I go by minirips2 !
