Got a few stone chips that I'd like to touch in on the M3.

After much to-ing and fro-ing my local dealer (Sytners) has told me it'll cost £25...

Seems a bit steep for a standard colour, when I only paid £12 for a colour to sample paint for my old Porsche, and only £10 for my Lotus that had a premium paint colour!

Anyone found anywhere selling at a normal, acceptable price?

(Colour is Yas Marina Blue)

Cheers.

If you do go for BMW paint then check the paint on something disposable first.

I got a Carbon Black touch up kit from the local dealer and it was just plain black (CB is dark metallic blue) despite the label saying otherwise.

After getting over the shock of the dealer wanting £25 for a carbon black touch up pen...I bought touch up paint off e-bay for £6.99 and it was perfect!!

Seller was the scratchdoctor

Get it mixed up by an auto paint seller or try Ebay?

Dealers are usually a last resort for me.
