How do I find my BMW paint code?

There are a couple of ways to find your BMW paint colour code. Depending on your vehicle model, there will be a sticker on the driver's side door jamb or on the inside of the engine. Once you find the sticker, look at the bottom left-hand corner, where you’ll see a 3- or 4-digit code (it may be made up of numbers only or include letters). Your BMW paint code sticker will often give the colour name in both English and German. Another option is to use our handy search tool. All you need to do is enter your vehicle registration details in the search bar, and we’ll let you know which BMW paint code will provide the ideal colour match.

Can you buff out scratches on a BMW?

The best repair method for a scratch on your BMW depends on how severe it is. You may be able to buff out minor scratches using our high-quality scratch remover. However, for deeper scratches, you may need to use touch up paint to achieve the best results. Make sure you order the right colour by checking your BMW paint code. This will ensure you get a seamless match.

How can I fix chipped paint on my BMW?

Chipex™ touch up paint kits are the perfect solution for fixing chipped paint on your BMW. Our kits are designed to match your car's original colour, making it easy to achieve a seamless finish. With three kit sizes to choose from (Lite, Pro, and Plus), you can get the ideal amount of paint for the damage at hand. For particularly deep chips, you may need to layer up the repair paint. In this situation, you’ll need to add multiple coats of the paint mix and blending solution, gradually building up the layers until the affected area is flush with the rest of the bodywork. Make sure the paint dries fully between coats.

Is it difficult to touch up the paint on my BMW?

Not at all! With Chipex™ touch up paint kits, it's easy to achieve professional-looking results at home. Our kits come with everything you need to touch up your BMW's paintwork, and our instructions guide you through the process step-by-step.

What happens if I make a mistake while applying my BMW touch up paint?

Our beginner-friendly paint repair kits provide durable, long-lasting results. However, if you make a mistake while applying the product, don’t panic! Any smudges or smears are easy to rectify. You can carefully remove any paint (before it dries fully) by applying the blending solution from your kit and gently rubbing it with the paint removal cloth.

Should I add primer before applying my BMW touch up paint?

We provide an all-in-one repair solution, which means you can apply your BMW paint directly to the area of damage. However, we recommend cleaning the affected area around the scuff, chip, or scratch first. For extensive or deep areas of damage, it can be helpful to add primer first to ensure the paint adheres fully.

I’ve recently painted my BMW but have found a scratch — can I use Chipex™ touch up paint?

Although it can be frustrating to find a chip or scratch on your freshly painted BMW, you’ll need to wait to apply our touch up paint products. To get the best results, wait at least one month from the time of painting your BMW before using a Chipex™ kit. This will allow enough time for the original paint to cure fully.
