bmw touch up paint?
ok today some fucker scratched my car...idk who did it but someone rubbed some shit against the passenger side back door. There is one of those rub scratches where there are a bunch of thin scratches close to each other. Then there are 2 more 2-3 inch scratches...I dont have a pic but i think its minor enough for me to fix it with some touch up paint...i was wondering would i be able to touch it up myself or do i need someone in the service center to do it?

Depending on how deep the scratches are, you might be able to get a detailer to buff them out with a high speed orbital and polish. Otherwise, good luck with the BMW touch-up paint...you might want to invest in some Langka...I hear it works well to remove paint blobbing.

If the scratches are not to the bare metal, then I would try buffering them out with 3M rubbing compund and a PC. A rotary would work better but unless you have experience with it leave it to a pro. My buddy and I took out a bunch of light scratches on the side skirt yesterday with a PC and the 3M rubbing compound. We followed it up with some Einzeit polish.
