Best touch-up paint
So I've discovered the tiniest most minuscule paint chip on the hood of my X3. Brand new car, and a rock decided to have its way with the paint It just looks like a tiny speck of dirt, and it's only unnoticeable unless you know it's there, but I'd like to get some touch-up paint for it. What would you recommend for touch-up paint? I know BMW makes their own, and I've seen some other options as well. The car is Deep Sea Blue Metallic. Any input would be much appreciated!
Thank you! |

Just get the Standard Touch-Up Paint Kit. It's all you will need to touch up the chips. It's super easy and looks great. Just follow the instructions. You will be happy!

Most of the time using the little brush that comes with kit leaves too much paint in a very small chip hole.
From experience I have found that a cutting a match stick down to a point and using it to drop a small droplet into the hole works well. Naturally using a large blob of paint is undesirable. Perhaps a small amount on a toothpick will do.
