Touch-Up Paint for Chips

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Body

On the exterior mirrors, the hood, and especially the bumper, it is common for small paint chips to occur due to collisions with pebbles and the corrosive action of bugs. You can fix this with touch-ups that will restore the surface to a uniform appearance, especially for dark colors. Clean the surface thoroughly, use a toothpick dipped in paint to touch up the chipped areas. Once dry, wet sand and polish to give the surface a shiny appearance, and it will certainly look like new.
