Why The Two-Step Paint System?

Your 1986 BMW 3-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:

Mark, owner of a 1986 BMW 3-Series from Grosse Pointe Farms, MI

Very good match for the original 30 year old paint - BMW Alpine White 146 - I could not find a better match.

Richard M, owner of a 1986 BMW 3-Series from Austin, TX

The paint matched perfectly. Especially nice was the nature of the spray. Too many spray cans can get bloppy and inconsistent. This spray head is really nice. Great place to purchase matched-to-OEM paint colors.

Rick, owner of a 1987 BMW 3-Series Cabrio from Danville, CA

Have ordered in past for other cars, with perfect matches. Most recent order, paint was close to the original color, but not spot on. Good enough to cover and protect the bare metal, but will have to look for OEM paint to make it perfect.
