Hi guys, im after a can of paint which will match my zinnobar red car, is it a matter of getting it from BMW, or can you get a good match and quality from somewhere else? Thanks, Theo.

some car paint shops will do a mix and put it in a spray can,if you take the petrol flap off and give it a good t cutting (to get original colour back)take it in and they should match it

My Zinnober red car still has quite good paint (ie not Zinnober Pink !!) , and I just went to my local automotive paint shop and they mixed up a spray pack just from the paint code. Matches very well, although I was only touching up areas around my fogs and front lip.

Ask Ziggy i know he has tried at least a couple of brands to touch up a bit on his cab, i think the Halfords paint was the worst of the bunch...

I bought some paint in a spray can for my mums Schwarz Black 316i from my local paint factors. I just told them it was BMW Schwarz Black, and they mixed it up and put it in a spray can. The colour match is spot on and the finish is very good too.

I went into an auto spares shop yesterday to pick something out and noticed there was a rack of spray paints, had a look and the first red can i looked at was bmw zinnobar red, Ԛ£2.50 well spent!
