Your Paint Color Profile

746 - Gruen Met

The Look

This is 1999 in a bottle. It's deep, moody, and sophisticated. It doesn't scream for attention like a racing red. Instead, it suggests quiet power. You likely saw this on the R1200C cruiser or the big touring rigs of that era. It's a forest green that shifts with the light. On a cloudy day, it looks almost black. Under the sun, the metallic depth wakes up. It hides road grime well. It makes a bike look expensive.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish. That means the paint is packed with tiny flakes that need to stay suspended. If you get lazy, the metal particles will sink to the bottom of the container. That's how you end up with a "bruised" look or dark stripes. This color is prone to mottling. Apply it too heavy in one spot and the flakes clump. Keep your layers thin. Very thin. This isn't a solid color where you can just glob it on and hope for the best.

Best Practices

Pop your seat off. You'll usually find the code sticker on the frame rail or the seat pan. Sometimes it's tucked on the rear fender mudguard. Before you spray or dab BMW-Motorcycles Gruen Met (check for code 746), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. Do not skip this. You need those flakes dancing. Test the color on the included card first. Work in a warm garage or a well-lit patch of shade. Keep the container moving to prevent puddles. Give it plenty of drying time between coats. Patience prevents runs.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
