TOUCH UP PAINT FOR BMW LE MANS BLUE 381 METALLIC KIT 30ML 1 3 5 7 8 SERIES (JUST PAINT)

Product Information

You can drive away confident in the knowledge that a qualified BMW technician has fully prepared and inspected your car and repaired any faults with genuine BMW parts prior to collection. This is one of those "I bet you had no idea what you were asking" questions. BMW has offered, at one time or another, more variations of blue than any other color. Out on the road, this M5 behaved exactly as a well-built German performance car should - with no fuss, drama or show, but plenty of grunt when required. The car starts with ease and will happily handle repeated starts even when hot, and there was no untoward mechanical behaviour that we noted. A: As far as I know (other than at the VDC) it has only had hand-washing, and zero automatic brushes, etc. I've had it hand-washed 37 times and they use a microfibre cloth to dry it. You just have to be sure that they are not wiping the cloth on it when the paint surface is completely dry or the cloth not a little damp. I can't detect any scratches or swirls. I personally hand-waxed it once, and it's still awesome. Throughout its lifetime, the M5 continued to impress both journalists and enthusiasts, as BMW constantly tinkered with the appearance and mechanicals of their ‘super saloon’ in the pursuit of perfection. In 2000, Car and Driver magazine in the US perhaps summed up the E39 best, simply calling it “the most desirable sedan (saloon) in the world” which we’d say is high praise indeed.

The only known faults, according to the vendor, are that the rear offside window regulator is temperamental, despite having been replaced in 2011, so a dodgy connection issue is suspected. In addition to this, only a handful of the parking sensors work correctly, though this has never been an issue for the vendor. Apply 2-3 coats of mid coat depending on the desire color required. Leave 10-15 minutes between coats. Leave 60 minutes before applying 2K Show Clear. As for mechanical, well, I went a bit crazy with that too but it's still not done, more things to do to it

But unfortunately, in my country there's not many powdercoating companies, even much less related to the auto industries/parts.

Full details of the cover are available from any of our BMW dealerships. 12-month MOT cover Now, my plan is to get them sandblasted, and then powdercoated (I appreciate the quality look and durability of those jobs). New release bearing ( this was causing the winning noise while engine was running. I thought it was the power steering pump but it was the release bearing, now fixed)So I'm inclined to get the gear and do it myself (lot's of diy guides on youtube), or buy some powder to get then done with it... but my problem will be matching the color...

Deep clean the interior. Took all the seats out. They've come up good but I still want to get both front seats and arm rest dyed I won't go into too much details as I might do a project thread as there's still things I'd like to do to it but for now I thought I'd share some pics with fellow car enthusiasts

I get compliments on the color CONSTANTLY, from people of both genders, all age groups, and all levels of car enthusiasm. People have walked out of their way to come over to my car and tell me how much they like the color, sometimes even saying that they like this particular shade of blue as opposed to just liking blue cars -- and that includes BMW enthusiasts who can tell it apart from Interlagos (aka "blurple"). However: the car sits lower to the ground than other vehicles I've had, and it is a magnet for road pebbles and debris and my only regret is that I did not get a lower front and front-of-hood clear bra installed. But I think that's a good idea regardless of paint color. The hexadecimal color code #2a4362 is a medium dark shade of cyan-blue. In the RGB color model #2a4362 is comprised of 16.47% red, 26.27% green and 38.43% blue. In the HSL color space #2a4362 has a hue of 213° (degrees), 40% saturation and 27% lightness. This color has an approximate wavelength of 476.8 nm. I sold the car six months ago but I have only seen it once since then and that was maybe 2 weeks after selling it. I changed the oil for him after 500 miles of the rod bearing shells being changed by Darragh at EverythingM3's. Apply 2-3 coats of Base coat leaving 10-15 minutes between coats. Leave 30 minutes before applying mid coat.

The first time that a V8 engine had ever made its way into a production ‘M’ car, the E39 M5 saw the introduction of the now-legendary 4.9-litre, naturally aspirated, 7,000rpm redline S62 engine, which was available exclusively with a six-speed manual gearbox, something which seems unthinkable in today’s world of a dual-clutch transmissions and semi-automatic ‘boxes. This is the first time I have fitted CSL wheels to any of my M3's and I'm happy I went for this wheels this time.

Do you have any regrets whatsoever, with your color choice? If so, what do you wish you'd done differently? I asked the customer support of one big powder supplier in the usa (prismatic powders) if they already had matched to the BMW M performance caliper colors, and send pictures of them in all colors... they said they didn't, but gave me some suggestions - curiously, the suggestion for the yellow was exactly the color code which the above mentioned yellow calipers had been powder coated with, so the guy may have a good eye. This car paint is manufactured to the highest standards by International Paint Suppliers - a trusted name in refinishing products with over 25 years experience in colour mixing.
