OEM color match with aftermarket spray paint

JabzSA · 06-12-2014, 11:58 AM

Hey guys,

I know i could have posted this in the DIY or Cosmetic section...but i figured general forum will be good enough also.

I have seen guys spray paint their side reflectors to match oem color, or saw someone paint his struts etc...

Question i have is whether there one can obtain an exact OEM color match with aftermarket paint? If so, which products?

I have a Melbourne Red M, and recently was browsing paints at a spares store...they had loads of paint matching EOM GM, Ford etc colours...but saw nothing for BMW.

Thanks!
