I have an Alpine white X3. Developed a few stone chips. Visited a reputable panel beater - and was fortunate that they repaired an Alpine white BMW the previous day. They gave me for free a "Cutex" bottle of paint which I then applied with the Cutex brush. He warned that it is a water based paint that may eventually wear off after repeated washing. Then will need to be re-applied. Sofar I didn't need to reapply though. Immediately after application the color seems "different" to the rest of the paint - after drying it is the same though. It does not fill the depth defect - this I may have done professionally before selling. The overall result quite satisfactory though. Hope this helps.
