2018 C43 AMG Coupe
Argh ! Pissed off ! MB lovers help me out

So, to wrap this week up ....

It started with a nice sidewall bump on the runflats .... then when I took it to the shop they realized that wasn't why I was losing pressure on the tire ... it was a crack in the effing rim. Okay. Got it welded no problem. Looking for new tires as well. Gonna set me back a little bit of $$.

But this morning ... man ... I am pissed.

I am driving on the highway and this lexus sedan in front of me runs over a f#$%ing metal sheet and it goes airborne flies at my car (I was driving behind him) and hits the left front bottom of the car. Thank GOD it didn't break the headlight or one of the sensors. There is also a little bit of damage on the front left vent thingy.

Does anyone know how I can "touch up" these chips ? I don't want to get the whole bumper painted but I really don't know if it is possible to touch them up.

Thanks broskis.

It doesn't look that bad, Can probably use white out

Pepboys has some touch up markers/spray you can check out.

Best I've found so far.

you have to experiment with the application though. Sometimes following their directions works great, sometimes not.

The colors do match perfectly though and I've even used it with an airbrush to touch up large scuffs.

I second Dr Colorchip. Not cheap, but works very well, and is pretty quick and easy to use. I've used it on all my vehicles.

. . . Or, if you have a dealer you trust, the service departments usually have a "scratch and dent" guy who comes to the shop and fixes small chips and dents on site. I had the wife's GLK touched up in 3 or 4 small spots like yours and it only cost about $100. Their hands are a lot steadier than mine. . .
