My 335d (E92)'s paintwork took a bit of a battering from its previous owner, with loads of deep scratches, scuffs and swirls all over the body. As such, I'm considering a respray at some point in the future.

Instead of doing it the same colour again (Black Sapphire), I'm considering doing it Ruby Black (Individual colour), but I'll be getting it done by an aftermarket bodyshop rather than BMW (because of cost).

The question is, will the bodyshop be able to purchase the Ruby Black paint, and if so, will it be hugely expensive/overpriced?

Anyone with any experience in this would be helpful!
