Chipped paint

M2 power · 03-06-2020, 12:54 PM

Hello all, last week when I took off my M performance front winglet from my car that is attached with strong 3M tape, I accidentally took off a small piece of paint from the bottom of the front bumper. The front bumper was repainted due to the drilled license plate holes. Then I applied the PPF on the front bumper to give it a little protection. The chipped paint is on the bottom of the front bumper that is not cover by the PPF. I touched up with DR color chip and clear coat. A lot of clear coat actually since is on the bottom no one can see it and also cover by the front winglet. Just wondering if the chipped paint would get any worse and spread by any chance? I think it is the same thing when someone scrapes their front bumper when go in and out from the drive way. Anyone has experience like this? Did it get worse?

It shouldn't spread or get worse, especially if you've applied touch up paint/clear

I agree. I have never seen a paint chip spread.

Have PFF on front so of course a tiny rock bounces off the roof taking a small divot with it

BMW paint is SO fragile, worst I've ever had.

Ok good to hear. Touched up with a lot of clear coat waited until it dry then put the front winglet back on
