Experience with paint chip touch-up products?

Post by BlackBart »

Anyone here with recent experience with paint touch-up suppliers? Xmas gift plan.

I know of DrColorChip.com and PaintScratch.com. I have the paint color code. I'd like to send a touch-up kit to my son for his 35 year old BMW. I think the bottle and squeegee and polish would be a better solution for him than a spray and clear coat. It's just tiny chips and then a small area under the wheel arch where the tire touched on bumps (we have fixed the height issue already).

Thanks for any ideas.

BMW OE? I wasn't fully satisfied with a few aftermarket brands/suppliers, Volvo paint kit is much better. Same applies to Toyota.

I ordered this one...

Seems good for what he needs. Prevent chips or bare spots from rusting.

BMW Zinnoberrot 138.

oh...EDIT: That color is NLA from BMW parts.
