OEM guaranteed to match vs no name brand that claims to be the same color. $32 vs $9, your choice whether $23 is worth possibly having a different color paint on your car. You can always be the guinea pig and let us know how it goes! :whistle:

depends where you're planning to use it but if it's somewhere visible such as the front of the hood, I wouldn't go with either.

I have the OEM product and I've tried it. The color is a perfect match and when done properly with wet sanding, you can get a rock chip disappear like it's never been there :thumbsup:.

NEITHER!

Just go out into the woods and find the rare herbs required for proper pigmentation after crushing and mixing! THINK, ITS ALL FREE! :hyper:

Who needs super expensive ($20) touch up paint for your BMW?! NOT ME SON! NO SIR! I mix my own fuckin' paint!

This is exactly the reason why I said I wouldn't go with either one...because I know I do not have the skill to do it properly. If done wrong, it will look like small blobs of paint on your hood or wherever that's too visible. I rather go with something else such as Dr. Colorchip (???). Used it before, much more simpler to use than touch up paint.

I've read about the Dr. Colorchip. Never used it, but I wonder how long lasting it is :think:?
