Touch up paint recommendations?

MstrRogers330i · 01-28-2012, 09:02 AM

I currently have black sapphire 330i that has some scratches on the hood....no idea where they came from

I am contemplating touching them up, wet sanding and a good polish and wax. What brand/type of touch up paint is the best and anything I should look out for when attempting this? Thanks! I did

but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for....i

How deep are the scratches and do you have any pictures? If they aren't too deep I would machine polish first and see if you can remove/reduce them.

Enough to feel with a fingernail and to see white

mine has that scratch too, I have just grabbed a set of touch paint and clear coat from the dealer, cost 34+tax, or you can buy it @ amazon.com, geniue parts from BMW means that it must be the right colour for your car. to make it more smooth and invisible , I think I'll buy some scratch remover and sandpaper tomorrow, good luck~
