My Ride: Currently I ride a 2005 545I w/ Sport Packege. The only thing I did so for was just tint the windows with 15% all around. I will be lowering the car and adding 20" inch rims in the near future.
Hey guys, I have some chips that I would like to repair myself, I read some place to use a toothpick since it was really small and it worked. Does anybody else have any good tricks?
The bottle of touch up pait you get is to think and the brush it comes with is to big.

Sure wish someone would offer up some tips on this. I have small chips that look glopped on if I use the touch up brush.

Awesome Gene, thanks for that link! I have quite a few areas that need to be patched. Does it "blend" ok? Will it look like its paint or noticeable that its a touchup.
