Houston People: Anybody Have Alpine White Touch Up Paint?

frankzlin79 · 05-08-2011, 10:37 AM

Anybody in Houston area have Alpine White Touch Up Paint that I could use for 2 min? I nicked my E90 installing the stupid matte black side gills on the driver side (was able to install passenger side nick-free).

Much appreciated!

What is that? That doesn't sound very OEM-like.

Its just a touch up paint kit (uses AW paint code) that allows for you to fill in chips and small scratches without clumping. Works really well actually, prob the best touch up paint solution out there.

Read up on it and if you are interested you can use it.

here is a demo: http://www.drcolorchip.com/how-it-works.php

BMW now sells OEM touch up paint. Inquire at your local stealer.

Khatti: I might take you up on that offer

rldzhao: Cool, I'll get a quote. But I'd rather not spend $15 or so on touch up paint for my two very small (~2 mm diameter) paint chips.

How does this stuff look? i'd like to be able to fill in the rock nicks on my hood/front bumper...

The BMW paint has paint on one side and clear coat on the other side. The problem is that it's like $32! No thanks. I'll live with my tiny scuff mark.

For real? What a swell guy! Let me know when you get it in. My defect is literally smaller than a 1 x 1 mm area by my side gill. (I have a full front bumper and half hood clear bra so don't need to worry about paint chips ever.)
