Graphit Metallic Paint - Where from?

rob0r · Post by **rob0r** » Fri Oct 22, 2010 12:39 pm

I need to touch in some repair work on my car, as well as paint a wing and a BBS spoiler, where's the best place to get a litre or two of Graphit Metallic Paint?

Try:

Cans have a good spray pattern as well.

Thanks for the suggestions. It looks like this is a rare paint, or are E21 paint orders not off the shelf? I can't find anything apart from a small touchup stick on ebay! Looking on Jeroen's paint codes it's number 087 and I've tried searching on this also. So I guess it will be a custom order?

I went into a BMW showroom the other day and asked if they had some paint colours for me to look at for our e10 and they where well excited about it, they offered us loads of grey shades and some looked very graphite coloury. even offered to let me take a couple away to have a look against the car. was really good of them as i showed no interest in actually buying a new car off them.

Thanks Jimbob, I'll let you know if I need the number.

Last night I was in Halfords and they had some "BMW Sparkling Graphite" paint, I'm sure it's not an exact match but it might do for the time being. I sampled it last night and it wasn't too bad.

Thanks! Though I ended up satin blacking my wing and bbs spoiler, the plan is to keep the car as dirty as possible, and then no one can tell!

if you have the paint code bmw 087 any paint rep should be able to mix it up for you i think evn halfrauds can mix paint to order that holts duplicolour stuff used it before and it was dead on.
