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 1988 BMW 3-Series Cabrio, 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 1988 BMW 3-Series Cabrio 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:

Devin E, owner of a 1988 BMW 3-Series Cabrio from East Wenatchee, WA

Happy with what I've completed Waiting for warmer weather to continue. Sitting on some of your product and will be ordering more

Andrew T, owner of a 1988 BMW 3-Series from Gettysburg, PA

Touch up paint arrived promptly as ordered and at a much lower cost than I had found elsewhere. This was a hard to find color for my 25 year old BMW. The color match was fair, but not perfect. Considering the paint on the car was aged and had been repainted years ago, this is probably the best that can be expected without great cost. The brush in cap, paint kit filled stone chips and small scratches very nicely. I found it did not go on smoothly in larger scrapes. This would perhaps require a spray can. Overall, I consider it a good product at reasonable cost. Maybe I'll try the spray can for the larger scrape later.

Kyle A, owner of a 1988 BMW from Whitewood, SD

Paint was just the color I was looking for. Henna red, but it's orange. Painted the car myself and it turned out great. So glad I went this rout and saved a lot of money too!! I got the ready to spray paint 2 quarts and the poly clear coat 2 quarts, if I had any advice to give it would be to always buy more clear then you need because not enough will result in orange peal effect.
