    SEM, Wurth or 3M chip guard?

    Has anyone used any of these spray bombs to match the textured area below the rear bumper on 325IX models, with good results matching the factory texture? The rust holes on mine engulfed both the lower black area, and the upper (directly under the bumper) area which happens to be brillantrot. I had to grind away the factory textured paint and material to get to bare metal. I'm now in primer, but both (driver and pass side) repairs are now smooth. Googleing, I found these three products. Some products are offered in either a "light" or "moderate to heavy" texture. I'm thinking the BMW factory texture would be "moderate to heavy."
    Thanks, Jim

      I have the Wurth Trim paint on my E30. It matches perfectly and has quite good adhesion. However, I used it over the chrome trim as well when I painted my car and after a few car washes (read: powerwashes) it is starting to flake off in a few areas.

        use 3m Body schutz to match the texture. Or if you just want it black any of the items you listed will work

          Update

          I was leaning towards wurth, however bought a can of SEM #39793 - Heavy texture chip guard, opaque - because my local auto body supply shop had it on the shelf. The counter guy was knowledgeable and confident it will do the job. Will get a test coat on a spare piece of metal today before I spray on the repair.

                The wurth is hard to match out of a rattle can. To do it right, you need their adjustable sprayer gun. You can knock down the high peaks with a DA and 220 with the rattle cans and it will match though.
