    Spray can match for Alpine White II?

    Looking for a spray can to match a front valance, lip, and fog covers to Alpine White II.

    Anyone on here with an alpine car tried to match a front spoiler or mirrors with an inexpensive spray can (Duplicolor, etc)? I'm not interested in using paintscratch.com's Alpine II paint or having a bodyshop do the work.

    Thanks,
    Stu

    why not get the spray can of the right paint? It's better to do it right the first time then get something that doesnt match and just end up redoing it with the right color.

      Check with your local automotive paint stores. Some of them can mix any color and put it in a spray can. Be sure to take your BMW color code number with you.

        Most any "off the shelf" whites that you can buy will be too white for your Alpine white II. It will look shitty. Just order a can or two from paintscratch or Tower paint.

                I got a brand new can of Alpine White II from www.automotivetouchup.com that hasn't been used yet as I changed my mind on paint color. Yours for $22 shipped(new was $28 shipped). This is just the base coat and you'll have to supply your own clear(can use Duplicolor Clear).

                I tried both Paintscratch and Tower. Tower seems a bit inferior and Paintscratch is a couple bucks more. I would say automotivetouchup is at least as good as paintscratch if not better. I definitely like their clear coat better.
