My understanding is that matte paint can't be repaired. At least not without a complete respray.

Technically you're correct, though a small chip you probably won't see the shitty correction job from a distance. Hence why ppf is a must on frozen cars. The problem is you can't blend and buff the paint to make It all look nice, so you're gonna have splotches of dark spots wherever you try to touch it up most likely

Can't be repaired. This is why frozen paint carries such high risks.

technically it can be repaired. A chip on a regular finish would be the same thing if you truly wanted to be anal about it. But who repaints an entire panel for a chip? Nobody..

Maybe put PPF over the panel and it will hide it? Certainly prevent more from happening.

I called dealer and was told no touch up available for the individual colors. This can’t be right, right?
