BMW 6 Series Touch Up Paint (86 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

BMW really went for it with the 6 Series, recording a staggering 85 colors over the years. We've seen everything from the boardroom-ready Alpine White III and Carbon Black Metallic to the "I've definitely arrived" shades like Imola Red II and Mediterranean Blue. Whether your car is wrapped in one of their "50 shades of grey" (like Space Gray or Silver Stone II) or something more adventurous like Deep Sea Blue, you're dealing with a premium finish that deserves a little respect.

What to Watch For

The 6 Series is a grand tourer with a long, elegant hood, which unfortunately makes it a massive target for stone chips. You'll also want to keep an eye on the "road rash" zone-that specific area on the rocker panels right behind the front wheels where the tires like to kick up debris and sandblast your finish. Before you get started, find your paint code; it's usually hiding on a black sticker in the driver's side door jamb or stamped on the driver's side shock tower under the hood. Look for a three-digit number (like 300 or 475) often followed by a slash.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many 6 Series colors are heavy on the pearls and metallics (looking at you, Mineral White and Black Sapphire), your biggest hurdle is "the flake." Those tiny sparkles like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Give your touch-up pen or brush a vigorous shake for a full 60 seconds-longer than you think you need-to wake up those particles. When applying, resist the urge to fill a deep chip with one big "blob." Instead, think of it like building a sandwich: apply a tiny, thin layer, let it dry for 15 minutes, and then add another. This prevents the paint from shrinking into a visible crater and keeps your repair looking flush with that beautiful BMW factory finish.
