Paint

[hash]

After sorting some rust on my rear arch, need some paint to go over it.

Am in the southampton area and need some Diamantschwarz Metallic paint, preferably in a rattle can, but halfrauds seem to have 3 or 4 different mixups possible under the code???

Can anyone else recommend anywhere else for getting it made up in my area?
Cheers

There should be a sticker on your psf turret with the exact paint code on my friend

Yeah this is what i gave them, i think i may have just got the dumb ass of the shop, maybe ill try another store. I even phoned bmw to check if there was another part for the specific year but they said no its just 181.

There are alot more clued up people in this area than me. Maybe pm Beardymat and ask his advice.

He will give you the info you need. It will be on the money too, its what he does

in paint colours there can be up to 10 and maybe more different shades of the one code
also the paint fades

diamond black had 4 different shades under the same paint code.
