HELPP!! Anyone in Tristate have LBB Touch up Paint?
All,
In a bit of an urgent situation. I took my car to Lee Berbs yesterday, am getting Xpel done on the front end + tints. When i dropped off the car (only 2 days old!), he noticed there was a chip on the underside of the front bumper (am semi-depressed about that). He asked me to get some touch up paint by the time I go pickup my car on Friday, so that he can fix it and then apply Xpel to that part of the bumper. Problem is, none of the dealerships have touch up paint for Long Beach Blue Metallic (paint code C16) in stock. If anyone either has touch up paint I can borrow and drop off to you over the weekend (the chip is smaller than a quarter so shouldn't use much of your paint), or can recommend a body shop in the area where I can get it mixed, please message me or text me directly (Rohan: (949) 463-5334) ASAP so I can get this sorted today. Thanks in advance my BMW M brethren; need a clutch save on this one! |

I've heard the same thing about touch up being really hard to get. Sorry I can't help. But yeah LeeBerbs is the man.

After many calls, found a body shop locally that mixes paint according to the paint codes (Miele in Pearl River, NY).
Fortunately my chip is under the bumper so if its a close but not perfect match shouldn't be a HUGEE issue |

Dr. Colorchip whips up a perfect match.> If time is of the essence, contact them and have them overnight it to you. Thank goodness its under the front bumper lip where its not readily visible.

Guys. Just order from paintscratch.com. I’ve been using them for a decade with all my cars. No reason to purchase those shitty pens from dealers as they will sell you it in bottles with brushes as well they offer kits with primer and clear coat. When the chip leaves bare metal I like to do a primer coat first. I feel the clear coat isn’t really needed unless the chips are large and you are doing layers.

As a side note I scraped the under side of my bumper.... and I don't really worry about it. 100% A+ my favorite place to get a scrape! |

But for areas other than that, if not Dr. Colorchip, what would you recommend for a good touchup product that contains clear coat? Or could you just use Dr Colorchip and then pickup up a bottle of generic clear at Autozone to apply over?

After only 2,500 miles I have a bunch of little chips around the factory clear bra that's in front of the rear wheels. I'm gonna ask my detailer if he can touch those chips up before removing the shitty factory clear bra and installing larger pieces. |
