Touch up paint for Mineral White?

Any suggestions out there for a source? I've tried Scratch Wizard (2 step), which wasn't even close. I tried another one before that (can't remember) but it was even worse and I just threw it in the garbage.

Has anyone found a good touch up paint for taking care of the inevitable chips here and there?

Just go to the dealer. It's not cheap but it is an exact match.

Thanks.

I really have to laugh at myself. For some reason I thought I'd be able to find aftermarket that was just as good as I've been able to do so in the past. After buying 2 worthless aftermarkets (and probably spending the same amount), I guess it's off to the dealer I go. Live and learn? Maybe not!

Lol I've done the same, sometimes it's just easier to bite the bullet right away and save yourself the aggravation.

I have used Dr. Color Chip, which is too bright in my opinion. The BMW Mineral White touchup paint is okay, not the best match either imo, it is thinner than other touchup paint I've had for darker colors, so a second application may be necessary.
