My friend and I used them for his white bmw x5 front end. The results were impressive to say the least.

It's really difficult to do the job that you want to do with touch up paint. Unfortunately, if you're looking for perfection, you are going to have to pony up the money for a body shop.

I inquired about a detailing shop but they never got back to me. Guess it wasn't worth their time. I've already started with the OEM paint so no turning back now. Have to wait till tomorrow and so some wet sanding to level it out.

Join the club. I don't know why a lot of these shops even have contact info or email forms on their websites. They never respond anyway.

White is very easy to fix. But I don't recommend the paint pens Audi distributes. They are simply too messy and difficult to use with accuracy.

I recommend this company, especially for white.

On a white car they would use a white primer.
