Did you touch up paint on your car before? How was the result?

Would you say it can look nice if touched up on a dolomite silver?

I'd be interested to know this as well, I have a dolomite silver 2021 and there are some small paint chips especially on the bonnet, wondering if its worth getting a paint pen and clear coat to touch it up

Your mileage may vary, but I got the touchup paint from Porsche themselves and it was awful for Dolomite. I have chipex, but have yet to try it out

Do you have picture of the result? How awful?

I've never had a good result with DIY - I store up lots of chips, scratches and dents, then get a mobile dent repairer/ detailer to come fix all of them up at once - usually not very often, just before selling or if it really annoys me.

I have dolomite silver, and my scratch went all the way to the bumper. After applying the touchup paint, you can still see it clearly but it looks better than the original scratch. This is after clearcoat, sanding, and polishing; don’t expect it will go away, but at least I feel better that there won’t be further damage.

Big fan of Chipex paints - I've used them on Neptune Blue (obviously far simpler to match than Dolomite) on the Taycan and Tanzanite Blue on an X5. On both, stone chip repairs are much harder to spot - close to impossible on the Taycan. Scratches are harder to blend perfectly but if you take your time to build up layers they're very good.

Do you have any pictures?
