body and interior Touch Up Paint

Sorry, my search function is not working.  Has anyone used paint from "Touch up direct"?

[Buckeye]

Not from "touch up direct"

I have ordered touch-up paint from "AUTOMOTIVETOUCHUP" a couple of times and overall been very pleased.

I went to AUTOMOTIVETOUCHUP.  For my Chamonix 72 they listed two different color codes for Chamonix, 085 and 163.  My car was built 11/71 so for the US it's a 72. 

 

Did BMW have 2 different shades of Chamonix?

^ i bought Chamonix from Automotive touchup and it did not match my car. Wasn't even close. Cant remember which one it got.

Steve - Did you pull the number from your car or just take what they listed from their site?  Also, did you get the pen or something else?  Their site shows 085 and 163 as both being Chamonix.

This just inspired me to order a 2 oz. bottle and a pen in Mintgrun.  

 

I will report back on how it matches my original paint... faded as it likely is.

I'm traveling so don't have the color brochures with me but I seem to recall that all '02-era colors are 1 or 2 digits. This would certainly point to 085 and not 163.

I recently did some touch up work on my car earlier this week and i use an acrylic enamel from PPG. Got it from the paint store a mile from my house. This stuff you can order to match paint codes from the factory. This stuff is Brush on and dries in half an hour. i am really pleased with it considering i was just trying to weatherproof the car while i wait to get it painted properly.

I picked up some Agave (071) in a small bottle and it matched REALLY well.  Quite pleased with automotivetouchup

I was told that the color code was on a sticker in the engine bay.  The sticker I was told to look at, the portion of it that has the number, is gone.  Go figure.  Is a car's specific paint code somehow referenced via your VIN# and or the Month and Year it came off the line?

2002s didn't have the paint code # on the sticker near the VIN plate, just the paint color name. There are plenty of lists/posts about BMW paint color codes - try Google.
