BurrNinja · 12-23-2018, 07:22 PM

Happy Holidays too! I remember reaching out to BMW and they said even with their paint code that paint probably wouldn't match because the paint in time will change and it'll be noticeable. Unless the car is still brand new. I remember that's why BMW recommended color matching with the gas cap method that way the paint will be pretty close. plus, the OEM BMW paint was pretty expensive.

so here's mine before I got the color matched paint done

and after. I think it's pretty spot on

Im positive he can match it correctly, ive decided to stay jet black and no repaint of car. I will have to put in work about the swirl marks smh a lot on there before purchase. Other then that I believe theres a foam piece I will need to purchase for the front bumper also, going to order around end of january beginning febuary. Then debating on the rear bumper after.

Yes sir.

From what I've seen BMW's colours are much easier to match than American cars; at least Ford/Lincoln. Our last car had something like 3 or 4 variations OF THE SAME COLOR!!!!!!
