You can order cans of spray paint from several online companies that supply OEM paint.
price range between $20-$25 per can + shipping
Google: bmw spray paint. =. expresspaint.com , automotivetouchup.com are a few. | | | | | 01-06-2008, 04:07 AM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Stamford, CT <-> Boston, MA Posts: 1,393 |
I think someone also mentioned previously on the boards that you can go to a local CarQuest and they can look up your paint and mix it for you there. Put it in a rattle can or give you the paint as well? __________________

Carquest is where I bought all the paint supplies to do my hood, bumper, and nose panel. They will mix for you to paint with a spray gun, spray can, or one of those little tube things for touch up. Good luck. | | | | | 01-07-2008, 01:08 AM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: LA, Bellflower, CA Posts: 3,613 |

To mix paint? A few minutes. The first time I went in I spent almost an hour chatting with the paint guy about what I was doing and getting advice and instructions from him. The second time, we talked for about 10 minutes before he got around to mixing my paint. If you're just straight in straight out and he's got no jobs ahead of you, 5 minutes tops. | | | | |
