Why The Two-Step Paint System?

Your 1996 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:

Joseph C, owner of a 1996 BMW 3-Series from Fort Worth, TX

The products are easy to use and great quality. Perfect for the DIY enthusiast that wants to accept the challenge of painting easy to medium complexity items. Thanks!

Tom W, owner of a 1996 BMW 3-Series from Poughkeepsie, NY

Great product and service providers...

Guillaume F, owner of a 1996 BMW 3-Series from Pleasanton, CA

The results were amazing! Looks like it was from a professional sprayer. They have the perfect nozzles too, very full coverage and large spray area but also very smooth and no splotches. The color matching was amazing! It looks identical to the original, independent shops can't match the color this good. The adhesive promote went on very smooth. The sandable primer works great, fills in any mistakes and can be sanded butter smooth. The clear coat is very strong but also friendly to waxes, with a few passes of rubbing compound all the orange peel was gone. Overall I was more than impressed and HIGHLY recommend instead of overpriced body shops. Maaco quoted 740$ to paint 4 fender flares, crazy?!

Vincenzo R, owner of a 1996 BMW 3-Series from San Rafael, CA

It is a perfect match, thanks.
