    Touch up paint?

    I found the BMW touch up paint "sticks" online, what type of aplicator are they? A pen? A brush?

    I have a couple dozen small rock chips on my front bumper and hood that I'd like to repair, what do you guys recommend for this?

    I'm also hoping to find a spray can of alpine white to touch up the bottom of the front bumper where it has been scraped over the years.

    On Dr. Colorchip's website they show how you can use the stuff to do large areas. You wipe it on with a t-shirt.

    And +1 for rock chips.

    It's a brush. Reminds me of a nail polish brush to be exact.

    Thanks. I've found that the brush type applicators are tough to use accurately.

    Can be very tough. I often use a toothpick instead. It's more precise.
