M3 Touch-Up Paint

[israndy]

On the drive home from the detailers I apparently suffered a rock chip:

Anyone know where I can get touch-up paint to come near the multi-coat red? It's super tiny, but I was about to put film on the front for this exact issue.... If I don't touch it up I will be preserving the issue.

Called the SC who wanted to refer me to a body shop.

Tesla's website had this: Model S Touch-Up Paint

No red. Looks like it hasn't been updated in a long time, green and brown? I emailed them but if they had it probably it would have been on the site.

As long as there are still people driving green and brown Teslas, doesn't it make sense for them to still stock those colors for touchup?

I've used this site before for touchup paint:

I think you did this out of sequence. Better to drive TO detailer, have paint protection film and desired coating applied, then drive home.

I only had the OptiCoat Pro installed. Apparently not so good with rocks.

might have better luck at a BMW dealer?

You said you were about to put film on the front. PPF goes on BEFORE a ceramic coating.

I bought this and the color was a great match. However, I put on the clear coat and it ended up blotchy like permanent fingerprints. I should have stopped before that point. Will have to take it to a detailer to see if they can fix it.

I didn’t think ppf would have saved you from that size rock chip.
