touch up paint
anyone know where i can procure some carbon black metallic touch up paint. Here in boston you get little scratches on your bumper that cant be avoided. I dont want to replace the bumper as it will just happen again, however a little touch up paint would help cover them up a bit.

I am going to have a scratch guy hit all of my little spots. Apparently he color matches the paint 100% and then uses an airbrush to do the spots. A friend of mine had it done and was amazeds at the outcome. You might be able to find someone like that in your area.

That or a lil trip down to Ft Lauderdale!!!!!

You can also get touch up paint from your dealer.

Not that I've heard of. BMW's touch up paint is in a small can with a brush. It comes in a two pack along with a can of clear.

I tried the BMW touch up paint and wasn't satisfied. It does come in a two step process. The pen works better in my opinon.
