I bought the same set off ebay, but the MW paint sticks out like a sore thumb. Not sure if the ebay one was a replica or if they all like that.

Look up Dr Colorchip , I hear people like the results not very expensive and easy to use.

I ordered, and received the Dr Colorchip kit for Mineral White. I had several scratches on the in-step of the lower door area from the previous owner. Thought the Colorchip kit would work ok in a low visibility area, which it did, but no way would I use this on any outside chips. The kit does tell you that it will not match well with the tri-coat of Mineral White, and it doesn’t.

If possible, bring to body shop and then will do touch up and cover with Xpel film - it’s totally worth it.

If you have the tri-coat, it should be blended, not touched up. I put a nick in my drivers door. Had to be blended into driver and passenger door.
