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 5-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 1988 BMW 5-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:

Michael G, owner of a 1988 BMW 5-Series from CA

I am very pleased with the outcome. Excellent color match the first time for a very difficult dark metallic blue.

Shaughan K, owner of a 1988 BMW 5-Series from Young Harris, GA

I bought the lachssilber metallic for my 1988 BMW E28. I used it on my rear valence, which I redid to get rid of some corrosion. The color matched perfectly. It's a very good and convenient product for small areas such as this particular project.

Douglas L, owner of a 1988 BMW 5-Series from Remsen, NY

Paint was a very good match.
