How to fix a tiny chip?

[phillcom3]

I can't see how I even got this chip it's just at 11oklock on the rear passanger wheel hub it'd about 1.5 mm diameter. I have a ceramic coat but whatever did this must have been a bullet

Would the tesla paint pen and some wet and dry do it?

Don't have an answer, but ceramic coat doesn't stop stone chips.

I know it dosnt. It has helped with micro scratching though iv noticed which is what I'd be most annoyed about.

But yes any help? Is the tesla paint kit worth it plus a bit of wet and dry? I have up to 8kgrit so I'm fine with thst.

I think you'd be better off leaving it to be honest. In the second photo you can hardly see it.

I know it's easier said than done, but I can't see how you could do anything with that that wouldn't make it worse.

This is so true. Too many times now I've tried to sort a little chip only to make it stand out more. Easier said then done though, hence me making that mistake more than once!

I suggest you leave well alone. You’ll only make it more obvious! If you really must get it sorted, try a local body shop and see what they suggest.

Yup.

I found a tiny chip on my drivers door. Wasn't even a chip really, was pretty much like a dot. I started obsessing about it a bit and ended up using a cocktail stick with the tiniest dab of paint on it (Chipex) and it looked worse, so had to quickly wipe it off.

It's easier said than done ignoring these things I know, because once you know it's there and the car is otherwise immaculate it will draw your eye. Guaranteed no one would see it though.

The first blemish is always the worst.

I'd agree. i have 2 little chips/marks that I'm waiting a little bit before I fix them. Will probably do the lot in one go.

I have the Tesla paint kit, but I'm waiting to open it up so I get the best value from it.

I've done pretty well with Tesla paint from a local bodyshop and then a product called Langka Blob Eliminator afterwards. You need to let the touch in well dry before applying the product.

This is what I am using for my red M3. Touch up paint for TESLA PPMR | SUNSET RED / NEW RED MULTICOAT | R102-E Pen Kit | eBay

The base coat is too dark, but the red lacquer works well on the small areas on the bonnet, wings, doors etc... I just put it on, leave it 24 hours then use metallic T cut to clean the excess paint off.
