The Paint Chip worked "OK"

OK so it isn't the best solution, which I believe would be painting the area again and somehow buffing and blending it all together BUT it works pretty well and when looking at the spots that are done you have to catch the area in the right light to see it. the pics below are of the ones that I've completed and they look pretty good. The one thing I have noticed is that if you remove too much paint it stays down in the chip but still leaves a little noticeble divot...not sure if thats right but it still looks a little indented. The good thing is the chips previously where WHITE since it went into the primer NOW they are colored and look good. One other thing to consider is that the paint I have is the British Racing Green which is metallic and if dabbed on and left it dries nice and metallicky However if you buff off the blob like the kit I have says to do it dulls down to a dark green color. The kit cost about $39
the Paint from BMW cost $29
and it came in two parts one was the paint the other was the clear coat. The paint is a perfect match BUT the clear coat is truly crappy. It is very very soft and when you put it on it remains soft even after sitting for days. SO I have not been using it and just thepaint kit has made the paint look good. A good shining and buffing afterwards really blends it all nicely.
