New F90 M5 Owner 2021 Urban Green (Rock Chip Fix Help Needed!)

Shivam5 · 03-16-2022, 02:56 PM

Hello Fellow F90 Owners,

My name is Shivam and I recently got a used 2021 M5 Comp in Urban Green. I live in Orange County, CA and very new to this fourm. The car has a few minor rock chips that I wanted to get touched up. I called Crevier BMW and they told me they dont touch up that color...has anyone dealt with this before on there M5? Any reputable shops in Southern California that anyone has dealt with? Any recomendations on how to get these touched up?

Trying to get PPF done but want to try and touch up a few small chips beofre hand.

Really appreciate the help here!!

Picked up a Verde Ermes Pearl Touch Up kit from Color N Drive for my 20 M5C (pic). Super impressed and my local detailer thought the quality was top notch. Worked on a few minor rock chips.

You can't put PPF over fresh paint. The paint needs to fully cure first because it will outgas for several weeks after repainting.

If you get the area repainted to fix the rock chips, you'll need to let the car sit for a month or two without driving it or else you'll just get more rock chips. Then you can PPF the car and get protected.

Otherwise, just forget repainting and get the PPF done and live with the existing chips while preventing new ones.
