Polaris paint color question

Recommended Posts

Call some automotive paint supply companies in SJ. Some have the ability to put the proper color in a spray can.

If all else fails, San Leandro color does it in San Leandro, CA.

Go to Kragens, see their Duplicolor line of spray cans, I am sure you can find one silver metallic close to polaris - within your budget.

Having said that, the new codes do not match polaris that well, just go to a car show and see the newly painted "polaris" cars, they are all over the map. I once spent 3 hours in the sun, going thru paint swatches, to find a very close match to polaris. I was able to find an undisturbed area with the original color on the car. Even then we had to adjust the size of the flakes. No I don't have that information anymore...

Thank you for your replies. Eventually I will repaint the whole car but since i'm already cleaning up the engine and bay i figured it would be good to touch it up.

I heard about Polaris and how difficult it is to match, and even the new paints have changed with new laws.

thanks!

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
