    Where to buy BMW paint?

    I want to paint the hood and trunk of my car... super sunfaded.
    Where would I be able to buy some OEM BMW paint? Spray can or in bases. Just researching the idea of doing it myself

    I got my code matched paint in a rattle can @ NAPA for $15. If I was going to do any serious painting / bodywork, I would take it to someone that knows more than nothing about painting / bodywork (a comment on my abilities, not yours).

            Food for thought: your entire car is faded. The hood and trunk might be worst, but all of it faded...so if you match the color code perfectly (which you can't, shit changed in 23 years) it still would not match.

            Seriously, call a body shop or three. You might get surprised.

            Closing SOON!
