CLEAR COAT IS REQUIRED WITH THIS PAINT

To ensure your paint repair blends in perfectly, you'll need to apply a clear coat over the color coat. While AutomotiveTouchup paint products are custom mixed to perfectly match the color of your 1983 BMW 1-SERIES, we use the same basecoat/clearcoat system as your factory specs. You can add a clear coat to your order on the next step. The paint code can be located underneath the hood near the front strut tower, on the firewall, or the passenger side wheel housing.

Why The Two-Step Paint System?

Your 1983 BMW 1-SERIES is painted at the factory with a high quality basecoat/clearcoat system. This two-step paint system consists of step one, the basecoat, which is your car’s actual color, and step two, the clearcoat, the specially formulated clear paint that protects the base color and provides the luster and deep shine your vehicle came with when new. AutomotiveTouchup products faithfully reproduce your vehicle manufacturer’s basecoat/clearcoat system.

Here's what our customers are saying about our Touch Up Paint:

Dana J P, owner of a 1984 BMW 6-Series from Arlington, WA

BMW Burgunrot Metallic #199 1) The grey primer is relatively thin and requires many coats to achieve any build thickness. I applied two coats before wet sanding and another two coats with additional wet sanding to get a good surface. 2) The color base coat covered fairly well but to get best application required short sweeping strokes. Attempts to apply long sweeping strokes resulted in surging from the can and inconsistent layering of paint material. 3) Consistent coverage was achieved with short strokes and alternate cross-hatch pattern. Final result looks good.

Tom L, owner of a 1984 BMW from Somerset, NJ

The color didn’t match, we tried you and NAPA and bother off. Not sure but pretty sure this was a BMW mistake. Thanks.
