Paint touch up bmw

[Baaaartz]

What is the best thing to get this touched up with, it was already on there when I bought the car a month ago, kind of annoying but nothing major its tiny, cant really see it unless you know it's there.

Also will it be clearly visable if it was to get touched up?

It's on the back side door.

Paint is metallic silver.


The white spot you can probably see in the picture above is what I'm talking about

I also forgot to add there is no dent in that spot, it's just that little bit of paint that is missing, not sure how it was done.

Get a touch up kit from the dealers or Halfords, either the spray cans or brush.
Use a tooth pick to apply and build it up, there should be lots of vids on YouTube of how to do it.

Or instead just call chips away or someone like that to sort, shouldn't cost loads.

Will it be proper visable or it will kind of blend in?

It all depends on your prep and application, it's normally a 2 stage process of applying paint and then lacquer.
You will also need to wet sand the area and then once finished, compound and polish the area.
If done properly it should be very hard to notice.

If you don't have the tools or aren't confident enough to try it yourself and it's really bugging you then I'd get a professional to sort.

I think we need a notion of the scale of that mark because from the picture it could be mm's or cm's wide without any reference.

I'm guessing it is tiny, and I reckon that a quick rub with some mild cutting polish and then just a touch of clear lacquer alone would be enough to make it practically invisible.

Apply the lacquer with said toothpick (or buy a decent touch up pen with the tiny nib) and let dry for several days before cutting again with polish.

Hi guys thanks for all the replys, the mark where the paint is missing is literally like a stone chip however without a dent, its bugging me because I spotted it when I was closely inspecting the car and now I cannot unsee It, however to see it u have to really be looking for it or be really close to the car and know where it is.

I think I'll just stick to a professional fixing it up, anyone know the rough cost of getting that done up?
