Dent Misery

Can Stacker · 04-15-2009, 09:52 PM

Just got the first door ding on the rear wheel fender. Dent Doctors can only remove just so much on a seam. At what point do you "crack" the paint to fix. Can BMW metallic paint be matched ? Has anyone had minor paint repair that they were unable to detect? thanks

Metallic paint it is tough to touch up. Obviously the metallic flakes in the paint will reflect light in a different way than your original paint will. However, its really not that noticeable if the guy that paints it is good, especially if its a small spot. And yes, the paint can be matched.
