Seems that BMW paint has too much lead in it an it was all recalled. The dealers don't know when they will get any and what they do have is very limited.

Anybody have some I can beg, borrow or steal? I'm in Los Angeles and I would buy someone lunch if they let me use a little bit.

Thanks

 

I have it, but you would have to come to Fresno. In case you are desperate.

Sigh, BMW pulls this trick too often on touch-up paint. "None available, we don't know when it will be." You probably don't want their stuff anyway... I've never had a good match for any of the metallics. Not even close in most cases.

I gave up on them years ago for my other car. I get my touch-up paint from http://www.automotivetouchup.com

 

ditto - I've had good luck with these guys. Appears they mix SherwinWilliams products then package per your order. (I guess that since they also sell SW Ultra line for spray guns use)

I just ordered a rattle can of Hyper-Blue to do some work for a local. I'll let you know how the color patch turns out. Used their rattle can for a spot on a blue Honda Element and the match was right on....

 

Thanks

 

I got a liquid yellow paint touchup pen from www.autovisuals.com a couple of years ago and it's GREAT. They use MINI's own paint codes and application is a snap. The one I bought was $15 plus shipping at the time (I think).
