Touch up paint kit?
Have a few decent nicks in my white paint toward front of hood.
I have the BMW touch up paint and in the past used one of those kits I saw on Amazon where you prep, paint, then sorta use a polish to blend but process wasn't great on another car (black). Suggestions on how to touch up and or alternatives to use? 2023 edrive.. mineral white metallic Thanks |

Dr ColorChip is my go-to for touch up paint on all of my 3 vehicles.

What is the process you use?
Whenever i have tried touch-up paint, it always leaves a big glob in the rock nick.
Can you describe the process you use when adding touch-up paint? Does it blend in to not even show it was touched up? |

I used colorNdrive. Excellent quality. For me less is better. I use a very fine detail brush to apply just enough and try to avoid the “ blob” technique. Depending on how deep and large the chip is I would rather be patient and just build up the layers once the previous has dried. I use these: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B09...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Much better control to finess. I’ll use the included remover very sparingly if I have to. Oh and do not over work the repair, stop when you are satisfied , you’ll always think you can do better and then fuck it up.

Remember, touch-up work requires attention to detail. If you’re unsure, consider consulting a reputable body shop. AutoCAD 2023 ProCADIS discount. They may be able to refinish the area adjacent to the nicks without respraying the entire panel. Good luck with your touch-up process!

For mineral white metallic, I found that Dr. Colorchip was a better match than Color N Drive.
