yes they do. hope your paint hasnt faded much.
after you apply the paint let it dry, and take the finest wet sand paper and smooth it out.
thats what i did. looks ok, but you can tell my paint is old :1:

Take a look at Langka chip repair. www.langka.com It will eliminate the paint repair blob and make the repair unseen. We sell it here in Canada also.

I know this is an old thread but I was wondering about this kit system. I have seen lots of video's on you tube and it looks like it does a great job. I have some chips on my bumper which is plastic and wonder if this system will work the same on plastic?
