Touch up paint

Post Fri Jun 27, 2014 5:17 pm

just been to my local bmw to get some touch up paint, but only to be told they dont do it anymore, maybe because your cars to old... to which he quickly corrected himself, and said it is a nice car but....

a week before i spoke to someone on the phone and he said that i would have to come down in person to order it, so maybe this guy didnt know how to find the correct part number or the other guy didnt check properly...

however can anyone help, im after the touch up paint, code is 237 granite silver....

if anyone can find me the code or let me know if it is still available or not... ive tried searching realoem, but no luck finding it, and tried cotswold, just waiting for a reply at the moment...

Paints4u.com are great, perfect match and do a good selection, touch up tins mixed with laquer are great, rattle cans etc

I've never had a problem getting Dolphin Grey paint from Cooper in Norwich

Granite Silver is on eBay so it must be available:

Any paint factors though should be able to mix some up for you at a lot cheaper price. BMW touch up kits have shot up in price over the last couple of years.
