Car going off PCP next month and I’ve noticed a tiny scratch down to the metal. Can anybody recommend a cheap white touchup paint for M3?

The PCP says small scratches ate acceptable but not down to the metal.

You can get a small touch up pen by searching for your paint code (PPSW for white) on eBay for less than £8. But as mentioned above, don't expect any miracles vs a proper chipex, especially on white. Depend how attentive to detail the guy you'll do the handover to will be I guess...

Does the car need to be clean? 5 minutes down the motorway may be enough in this weather
Then it’s them that missed it rather than you deliberately covering it up.

I just got some off of ebay when I needed some for my Blue M3. Surprisingly good quality, and colour match. Think it was about £7.

I purchased this from eBay when I had a white Model 3. The base colour is a little too bright, the pearlescent a little too cream but I found by mixing that I could get a really good match.
Once the paint is nearly dry (about 15-20 min) wafting a piece of tissue dampened by isopropanol over the spot will reduce a blob down to the level of the surrounding paint (by wafting I mean no pressure, just a flat piece of the tissue gently flicked across the surface one or two times. It's quite tricky to do this but with practice it just leaves the spot filled without a build up-standing proud).

When I came to sell & checked the car over it was quite difficult to find most of the places I had touched up over the three years of ownership & the buyer's inspection didn't identify any of them either.
