Here is the Amazon links for the filler porcelain paint in many colors. I used American Standard AS1 on the tub I had. If you don't see the exact color you need do some searching since it comes in many colors.

I really respect this gentleman's attention to detail. You don't see this level of diligence in many of the how-to videos online.

Thank you for giving me the courage to tackle this job. The chip in the enamel of my bathroom sink wasn't very big. I followed your example by masking off the damaged area and then by building up layers of paint, maybe seven layers altogether, one layer each day. I spent more time shaking the paint than applying it. I expected that the process of rubbing down the paint, feathering the edges and smoothing with very fine sandpaper would take hours but I was so surprised when I had finished in 15 minutes. I spent more time watching your video than sanding the paint! My wife is delighted with the invisible repair. Great video!

Great video thank you! I've watched a bunch of videos in the last few days about repairing bath tub chips and rust spots and most of them are not very good! This is the best video I've seen by far, clear instructions, good product information, and great result. I'll be ordering some porc-a-fix today!

I've watched several videos on this type of repair and yours gave the best result by far, I see in the comments that the repair took 5 days, so patience pays off. I agree that you need to let the repair paint cure completely so that it sands more easily. I also see that you said that the repair turned color slightly, you might try polishing it with a white rubbing compound. It can't hurt and it might bring the white color back. Great video.

Thank you sir! Chipped my 57 yr old tub the other day. First chip and it’s bugging me pretty bad. I’m going to give this a shot.

After watching your Video, I ordered my kit from Amazon! It arrived today. I applied the first coat...

I just damaged my tub with a granite backsplash that fell and chipped it. I have almost the exact same size chip in a similar place. I'll give this a whirl. Thank you!

Hello, this is a great job, you can't even see the repair. I repaired 2 small holes (5mm) in my white metal bathtub using MIlliput Epoxy putty, but used too much and now need to sand down two areas approximately 10mm x 20mm each. Can you please advise what grit sandpaper to start with, that will not damage the bath, and whether it should be wet? I've seen 1500 grit wet sandpaper being suggested elsewhere

I think that's a pretty good job there, a lot of patience shown, but well worth it.

Great job. Thanks for demonstrating the entire process. I need to do the same thing, super helpful and yours looks great.

[patpending]

Great video. Best I've seen on this topic 👍

If you use a series fine>very fine>super fine grade sanding on that and it would get a sheen on it, not exactly new Porcelain but you would only notice a slightly duller area on very close inspectiin

Thanks so much! I have 2 huge chips on my white AS kitchen sink & a scratch in my bathtub.

Those small pieces of sandpaper at the beginning were killing me, but your end results are better than I expected. Now to go figure out my color and give it a whorl. Thanks

[seliahh]

You did a great job. Thanks for sharing. I need to fix chips in my microwave.

[jamkpa]

Good demo. It is my next project as I await for the paint to arrive.

I thought that you were missing a pretty big spot. Then I realized that it was a speck on my computer monitor. It goes to show that you should always clear off your monitor if you sneeze when using your desktop computer. That is especially true if you had been eating Oreos.
