The package have the paint and the clear coat. I just bought interlagos blue for $27.

no u dont...usually the purpose of 'touch up' is very minor so clear coat is not neccessary...

I got my bottle from the body shop when they painted my front lip,
asked them to pour some into a small container haha..it works great XD

I got mine for 25$ at Autowest BMW. I think takes a day to delivery and then you gotta go to pick it up at the place. Comes in two sticks, color and clearcoat.

1. Clean area first. Get rid of any wax in the area around the chip.
2. Apply base coat. Use many thin layers as opposed to one big blob. Let this dry.
3. Apply clear coat. Let it dry.
4. Wait a few days and use some rubbing compound to polish down that area (so it's smooth now).
5. Wax/seal and buff.

If you don't polish the area, it'll be very obvious where you applied the touchup paint.
