hi all, ive got this problem, ive got this 4dr e30 325i minter.
there is some accident damage im repairing. and at this stage i need to get the paint mixed right. the car is silver. it seem to have a yellow tint in?

this is a late 1989 model with its original paint still. is this the clearcoat from age?

or was there a silver with a slight yellow tint in it?

any help would be appreciated.

Regards
Anton

open the bonnet and look at the near side strut (air intake side), should be a black sticker with original paint name and code.
