Rock hits hood -- anything out there to fix?

JLD8BMW · 10-11-2010, 08:50 AM

Well, first day in my new 128i coming home from the PCD and what do I get but a small flying rock to the center of the hood. Any suggestions on ways to hide or minimize the nick in the paint? Size of the scratch is maybe 2-3 pin heads ---can't see it until you get right up to the car.

Dr. Color Chip. You blob the paint on and then use the blob eliminator to get it smooth. Works well on chips. I have a small one on the front of the hood of my 128i which was made significantly less visible with Dr. Color Chip.

I second the Dr. Color Chip. Did it on a recent rock chip and was extremely happy with the results.
