Why The Two-Step Paint System?

Your 1987 BMW 3-Series is painted at the factory with a high quality basecoat/clearcoat system. This two-step paint system consists of step one, the basecoat, which is your car’s actual color, and step two, the clearcoat, the specially formulated clear paint that protects the base color and provides the luster and deep shine your vehicle came with when new. AutomotiveTouchup products faithfully reproduce your vehicle manufacturer’s basecoat/clearcoat system.

Here's what our customers are saying about our Touch Up Paint:

Michael M, owner of a 1987 BMW 3-Series from Waukesha, WI

Great company and product. To be able to find a perfect color match for a 28 yr old car is fantastic. Thank you!

Steve K, owner of a 1987 BMW 3-Series from Stuart, FL

Quality product with very good color match. Nice packaging, highly recommend for your touchup needs.

Shaughan K, owner of a 1988 BMW 5-Series from Young Harris, GA

I bought the lachssilber metallic for my 1988 BMW E28. I used it on my rear valence, which I redid to get rid of some corrosion. The color matched perfectly. It's a very good and convenient product for small areas such as this particular project.
