Twilight Purple Touchup Kit

I've tried to get some touchup paint for Twilight Purple but both dealers I went to said it's not available. Anyone have any suggestions on where I might be able to get this? I sadly got some rock chips that I want to repair.

You’ll have to call but I’ve been very happy with their touch-up paints.

Dr. Color Chip is also a reputable site to try.

From my previous experience BMW touch up kit was much worse compared to Dr ColorChip. That was on Blue BMW colors

Cool, thank you. I'll check out those options. A little frustrating we can't get OEM touchup kits for Individual colors.

DR color chip ONLY! Its a thick gel like paint. It will fill the chip and self level. Touch up pens only color the chip. They dont fill and level the chip well.

Trust me. You want Dr. Color chip ONLY!!!

I second Dr Color Chip. Used it on my Long Beach Blue M2 and you couldn’t tell it was touched up for any reasonable distance. I will not bother PPFing my incoming Techno Violet when I can touch up any rock chips with the Dr. for $80.

Keep in mind for Dr. Colorchip, they need to have it actually available for your color. I emailed them about mine and they said they don't have anything for Sahkir III yet, only I and II, which I don't know if they'll be identical so not willing to take the chance.

I just checked for techniviolet and didn’t find it, do they have it yet? Been dying to cover a couple super tiny chips on my TV.

I didn’t see it either but they offer custom color matches for $20, I’m sure they have techno violet in the database.

They didn't have Twilight Purple either. I emailed them and they asked for my model and year and they'd produce it... HOPEFULLY it's still a good match.

They produced Enzian Blue for me. It was perfect.

They did sent me some white paint the first time with the same "code" but it was a mix up at their end. Some Nissan color (W37 = "Dayz white" for Nissan, Enzian Blue for BMW).

They mixed and shipped out the right color when I told them.

Which year/model did you choose? I just checked again and for 2023/2024 M (that was their only selection for M cars), and even All Models, I didn't see Twilight Purple listed.

It's https://drcolorchip.com, everyone's talking about, right?

There's an option on their website to enter the paint code. Try that
