bmw touch up kit

I'm a perfectionist when it comes to my things...
Like a lot of other people, my car has some chips up front, here & there, & it bothers me....
I was either thinking of going to a professional painter to get them taken care of or getting the touch up paint...


Has anyone ever used the touch up bottle from bmw?

if its a small area than i would do touch up paint and waxing polishing after.
just make sure not to apply to much paint at once and do layers instead.

There are success story about Dr.Color Chip (IIRC), better than any touch-up paint.

I've used Dr. Color chip on other makes, and it's so-so. Takes about an hour to apply, blend, buff, redo.
If you look at the repairs up close, you will see, they are filled in. Nothing perfect, except if you spray paint it by a pro.
