Touch Up Paint on BMW

[JK8410]

Was wondering whether people recommend touch up paint/pen (not sure of the difference). I have an old BMW with small chips in the paint that I want to take care of. I`ve found some websites proclaiming to have good products but I don`t know if they`re alright or not. Appreciate any suggestions.

The Dr. ColorChip system is pretty popular lately; if all you`re talking about is tiny stone chips I`d give that a shot.

IME all the various touchup paints have their hits and misses, it`s simply a crap-shoot as to whether a given one will match your particular paint.



On my M3`s Byzanz Metallic, I got a pretty good match from Paintscratch.com, but the Automotivetouchup.com stuff was good on another vehicle.



Note that the DRColorchip stuff is a single-productd approach, not a basecoat/clearcoat two-part system. Haven`t tried mine yet...

If its tiny rock chips, have you considered trying the one they sell at the dealer? The kits they sell should match pretty well.



The touch-up paint kit I received from the dealer for my Alpine White BMW is a two-part system, and when I used it to repair a small chip on a door, the paint matched fairly well.

I`ve used Dr. ColorChip for over a year now and it`s done just fine with small scrapes and chips. Do you have a picture of the chip?

i hope it worked better than Lanka? I hate it, never could get it to look nice.
