I had my 1976 BMW 2002 painted about a month ago. I only paid $500. For what I paid the guy did an awesome job. Here are some pics.

was everywhere done? inside doors under hood... you stripped it?

[Jason Dittmer]

He did the door jams, but he didn't do under the hood or the trunk. Also, he did all the prep work.

Good paint costs more than $500.  How long do you plan on keeping the car?  ;-)

How about a pic of the interior. And your VIN. This could be one of the very rare last of the 76s. Other people here will know more about it than I do.

I love the black. looks great. Is there any significance to the last of the 76ers? I have one I think is July or aug 76 production date.

[Mike Self]

It looks like the car has a red interior--is it original or has it been re-done.  And does it have an electric sunroof?  Please post the VIN, and here's why.  

 

Supposedly the last 200 US spec '76 2002s were all specially equipped to celebrate the end of 02 production.  They were painted Polaris, had electric sunroofs and red leather interiors, also soup plate alloy wheels.  They would have been assembled in late July or August 1976.

 

I recall one for sale in the BMW CCA Roundel classifieds around 1987, but that's the only one I've ever heard of--never seen one either.

...

That is a fantastic paint job for $500, maybe fantastic for even $2,000.

By contrast, just the materials for even a single stage paint job (i.e., no clear coat) for a complete car, even without the underside of the hood and trunk painted, would require a gallon of primer and a gallon of color.  Add to that the reducer for the primer and the reducer and hardener for the color coat.  A top shelf paint, such as Glasurit would cost, wholesale, more than $1,500 for all of the components.  Lesser quality paint would not be too far below $1,000, retail.

 

The fact that the guy did all the prep work as well makes this a screaming bargain for a good looking daily driver.  Enjoy!

I liked the silver better, but what ever floats your boat.

 

The red interior is pretty damn sweet.

[Conserv]

Pretty please: a few photos of the red interior?

Screaming good deal: when I think of all the '02s that would immediately increase in value by $2,500 with such a paint job!
