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 1997 BMW 8-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 1997 BMW 8-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:

Steve B, owner of a 1997 BMW 8-Series from San Francisco, CA

I have used Automotive Touchup for six different BMWs I have restored; Two e24s an e34 and three different e31s and found their products to be outstanding in both quality and cost. Not only are the paints perfect matches but the turn around from order to delivery is quick and affordable. The paint is quality whether its in a spray can or in the quart cans they are both great to work with. I take pride in the work I provide and feel A T does the same.

David A, owner of a 1997 BMW 8-Series from Woodstock Valley, CT

The color is a very good match...thanks. As far as pricing goes, the quart size could stand to be a little cheaper, so I tried to do it with a pint. It was going over gray primer and 3 coats wasn't quite enough to cover completely (you can tell in sunlight). Next time I'll prime in black. Now I need to re-order and buy the quart.

Jonathan M, owner of a 1998 BMW 3-Series Cabrio from Brampton, ON

To quickly summarize, AutomotiveTouchup ended up expensive for a Canadian but the color match was very good and worth the extra cost. After trying a locally sourced mix for around $25CAD we were extremely disappointed with the colour match, I had seen AutomotiveTouchup recommended online and decided it was worth giving a shot. Being in Canada it ended up being quite pricey to import an Aerosol Spray Paint for a '98 BMW 323is, after shipping, taxes & exchange around $65CAD for a simple can of base coat (clear and primer were sourced locally). But the colour match was much better, the card ended up extremely close, the repaired area did end up a little darker but that was probably prep related and it's still quite acceptable for performing an inexpensive rust repair on a 18 year old car. While AutomotiveTouchup might end up a bit pricey I would not hesitate to recommend them for any touch-up paints, their colour matches are very good.
