okay, I must confess that while I was removing my side vents (a ridiculous process) I scratched my paint....the great thing is that the vent once in place will cover 95% of the scratch.....the bad thing is the vents are such a pain to get in and out that the box has been sidelined and not driven on the 2 nicest days chicago has seen in a while...
okay back to the point, the touch up aint came in and I'm picking it up today....what do you guys recommend in terms of using it...is it just open and paint like a wall or are there some prepping steps I should know about?
depending on how deep it is man.
but the main thing is that you want the area that you will be touching up to be as clean as possible, meaning clean it 5 times to make sure that it really is clean.

I can see some silver....its a thin straight line....ugly when it happened...not as ugly when I moved away from it a couple days later and got over my initial anger/frustration
Your dealer might do it for you. My BMW dealer offered to do mine for me...
Supposed to be a quick, easy process.
hmmmmm....the only thing is that I don't think I can drive it without the vent on....the side it happened on has the opening and a vent I presume goes straight to the engine....the driver side is completely walled off and I think that is where the snorkel is.....so if I drive it, I think stuff can go in to the engine = bad....

Try lying a bubble free coat of the touch up paint over the scratched/clean surface, then if maybe you have a squegy thats its really good condition you can make a light pass over the paint and hopefully the resigual paint will wipe free and only paint left over would be inside the scratch.... it sounds mickey mouse enough to work! haha
