Touch up paint

CYL · 01-15-2016, 04:18 AM

Found that someone scratched my car with his door when I washed my car just now.
It's like a big stone chip (10mm x 5mm)
Not really that obvious when you have a quick glance over the car but I still want to rectify it.
May I ask what touch up paint do you guys use?

Don't want to leave it since I read that the metal may rust without the paint.

Thanks.

BMW sell touchup paint, contact your local parts department... should be roughly $50.

... and your car body is not metal FYI

The whole car has multiple types of material and composites, some parts are steel and some are fibreglass

It's actually a composite of carbon fibre and aerospace aluminium derived from the depths of the underworld. Lol
