Paint touch up…

[Kie1985]

Any recommendations on how I can repair this chip? Car is only a month old and only noticed it today when waxing. Car is non metallic white if that helps.

Assuming you've got a decent relationship with the dealer, I might try contacting them first for a couple reasons. First, since the damage is pretty minimal, I wouldn't be surprised if that were the sort of thing that they'd just do for free since the car is so new, and the second reason is because it could be good for the dealer to know just in case they see a few recently purchased cars end up with that issue and the factory has an issue that they need to resolve.

Worst case scenario, you could just order some touch up paint and do something like this video suggests on your own:

Rather than repaint / touch-up order a replacement handle or PPF the handle. Personally, I'd replace the handle.

Nice video, that's a technique I've not tried.

His channel is absolutely filled with gorgeous/unique cars, and he tries to teach a lot of his tips on restoring and maintaining them. Everything from doing quick clean ups on 20 year old barn finds to showroom polishes on some of the nicest cars in the world.

He's also a Taycan owner too, and has a video on how he did the initial detail for it

Dr. Colorchip works incredibly well for small paint chips. When you place your order, you give them your exact model, year and color, so the color match is spot on. I really like this option, since it doesn’t leave the normal “dot” you get from a brush touch up as this method only fills the paint chip.

My car has some touch up paint in the frunk (left side compartment).

Not sure if it came with the car or the prev owner bought it... But it looks like Porsche stuff.
