bmwdavid Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Hi I am thinking about having my left side case painted. Where do I get BMW silver paint and how much would I need for a side case? Could I simply bring this paint to a auto paint shop and have them use the paint? Link to comment
Guest Kakugo Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 If I remember correctly the 2009 silver is actually called Titan Silver (M354 is the code, I think). It's the same color as used on various of their cars (E90/91 3-series for example) so an auto paint shop should be able to match it. If I remember correctly the original paint is made by BASF and belongs to the Glasurit line: it's actually quite commonly used by car paint shops so should be no big problem sourcing the original stuff.

bmwdavid Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Has anyone had a side case repainted and what was the cost? Were you happy with the result? Link to comment
tallman Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 When working at dealership saw many repainted and most were fine or redone until... prices vary based on who you know $50-150. Link to comment
mwood7800 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I had my left repainted and with the proper code the painted bag was darker than the other. If I had a do over I would have painted both. Link to comment
bmwdavid Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Thanks for the replies. Not sure what I will do. Have all winter to think about it. Link to comment
