farmerp Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I am in need of some Dark Graphite Metallic code 946 paint due to my stupidy. After 6 phone calls to my "local dealer" (2.5 hours away) I got to talk with a real preson. I was told BMW is not importing any due to paint being a hazadours meteral. Has anyone else had this problem? What do I do now? Thanks Link to comment
ChrisA Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Find a good painter. A good auto body shop will have the ability to either match the color from a sample or if you give them the code they might be able to match it up from their own paint sources. Of course I would test it first to be sure it matches before sending off a panel to be painted. Link to comment
Isettanut Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Ride your pride and joy to a (good) paint shop and have it scanned. They will mix a pint and you have it. Leon 05RT Link to comment

Has anyone else had this problem? What do I do now? Thanks Get the paint from a Glasurit dealer. They make the OEM paint for BMW, so they hade the REAL paint formula. BMW sells parts, not paint as far as I know. You will also need clearcoat as well. I repainted the fairing on my K100 a few months ago, and as far as I'm concerned, Glasurit is the best damn paint going. Bob. Link to comment
gettysburg Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Good thing he has Dark Graphite, because that's the only color they list for R1200RT. Link to comment
