Well, it had to happen. Got two small (pinhead sized) paint chips on the LM Beast. What is most efficient and effective way to repair and what has been experience with quality or repairs? Need the Board's help on this.

Thanks DDM5. I will check out the site and report back on my success or failure.

Hey, great topic.
I was just going to do some research on this.

The advice from the BMW Tips Web Site raved about a product from Langka.
http://www.langka.com/

Anyone used this, or have a better idea?
I've got about a dozen chips, and this seems pretty labor intensive.

Thanks,
Bert

I used Langka last year on my CLK 430 but never quite mastered the art of flawless repairs that the product fronts. The repair on a Firemist Red CLK looked like a repair. I shall try the process again on LM Blue with a little more attention to process and report.
