The Dr. Colorchip was very durable from my experience on my last car.

I wasn't overly impressed at first as people tend to have too high of expectations and I could still notice where the chips were. But as time went by and I didn't exactly remember where the chips were and noticed I had to actually look for them. Plus with some more experience I think one could fill the deeper chips in better with layering.

multiple initial coats will fill in those chips nicely and eventually even out with the original thickness of the paint

Used it on all of my previous cars and all my family cars; planning to buy more for my jet black soon.

The real question is, which one of these touch-up paints is truly closer in molecular composition to actual factory BMW paint - I mean, with requisite orange peel texture and inability to adhere to body panel surfaces! Yeaahh for factory electrostatic paint! I've seen Kia automobiles with better paint than my 2008 jet black.
