where to buy paint for my 72 2002tii?

[Guest]

Where can I buy the right Chamonix white?

Try Paintscratch.com I used them to order single stage Bristol for my engine bay and the color matched nicely.

Hola-

I would imagine that if you could obtain the paint code from BMW, then any reputable paint store/supplier or bodyshop could mix it correctly. Just depends on how much you want to spend in terms of single or 2-stage, what brand paint, bare-metal respray or not...

my experience with using the BMW color codes is that the formulas provided in their refernce books apply to single stage paint only. if that is OK for you then you should be able to obtain the true color fairly easily.

colormatching is not easy and i did not get an exact copy of Malaga when i purchased that service for 2-stage paint.

Ford 'wimbeldon white' is a VERY close match to Chaminox and is readily mixable by proper formula. if you consider the effect of sun exposure, paint application, undercoating and other variables, i believe it could be argued that 'close enough' is good enough.

any future paints i use will be from color books to match the original color as best as possible. this way i hope to simplify the process for any spot touchups in the future.
