Hi guys, my car got a decent sized ~1cm across chunk of paint removed on rear bumper. It is mineral white metallic, is there a better source of touch-up paint than BMW?

Also there was a small nick taken out of the gray part of the bumper below the white paint. Any idea what is the the touch-up paint to get for the gray part of the bumper?

Any suggestions on how best to handle this type of repair? I assume that this won't be the last time since the bumper has nothing that would absorb light impacts before the white paint.

Thanks, Derek

I like DrColorChip. I think it's better then BMW touch up paint

Have heard good things about Dr Color Chip.

I just used Scratches Happen was was impressed with the variety of applicators and brushes that they supplied with the kit. (vs the nail polish brush on the OEM touch-up)

I hear mineral white is hard to touch up, compared to Alpine.

Let us know how it goes.

I checked the Dr. Colorchip website and it says that mineral white metallic is a 3 stage paint, so it can't be an exact match. The BMW touchup kit only gives 2 stages. This is kind of a bummer.

Not sure which will match better, might have to order both.

I also used one of these kits on my Mercedes SL with a Metallic White paint that required a 2 stage kit. Match was pretty close to perfect but it takes some experimenting to apply it correctly. Their kits do include dabbers instead of brushes.

That is what I use on mine and the color matches perfectly.
