Touch Up Paint Alternative?
Hi all,
is there a alternative to match an extact color code touch up paint bottle? I went to the the bmw dealership near me and they wanted to charge me $75 for that small 6 oz bottle of paint and clear coat My car color is a sedona red. I was just curious if there is another cheap way on covering the chip on my hood. Thanks. |

They have all the different colors I believe. You just gotta use the right search terms. |

^ You might also try eBay... I got my Alpine White III for a couple of bucks less than at Amazon.

Langka > Dr colorchip. Dr colorchip paint is very thin and works only as advertised on rash chips
another great touchup paint source thats OEM quality is expresspaint.com

But you're right, Langka is also an excellent product. |

For my paint code Langka & OEM paint layering was best. DR colorchip was alright, but layering it didn't work as well for me.
Once again, I think it depends on the application needed. I bought both because I had various defects. if you buy Langka, buy just the blob remover. all else is fluff
