Paint chips on front, what should I use?
 

well, we have a few paint chips on the front bumper and hood of our 04 X5.

we are looking to fix the chips and wondering what is the best kit to use. The Bav Auto road rash repair kit with matching color looks good, and there also the BMW manufacture touch up paint kit.

Any experiences with the Bav Road Rash kit or the BMW touch up paint? or maybe something else works better? :dunno:

I heard dr color chip works great. I think member mywidebody did something on this.. i'll try to dig it up

there ya go

I always repaired my paint chips with touch up paint and "t" cut sanding polish and a final wax.
You will need a few days to do it.The trick is to fill the chip with touch up paint until its higher than the surface,so you can then polish it out and also remove any excess paint.
As you apply the paint to the chip ,initially it may look like you filled it completely but after a few minutes ,the paint will drop,so you will need to keep filling it until its slightly higher than the surface.You will also need to give it 30 minutes or so to allow the bottom paint to dry a bit.
Wait a few days for the paint to cure,then T-cut polish it..After ,apply some car wax.Chip will be gone and hardly noticeable.
Time consuming but the end result is worth the effort:)
