Your Paint Color Profile

Canyonrot

The Look

One year only. 1998. That's the entire life of this finish. It defines a very specific era of BMW design, appearing on the "Oilhead" boxers and the early K1200 series. It isn't a bright, screaming racing red. It's deeper. Earthier. It mimics the light hitting sun-baked rock. On an R1200C cruiser or a K1200RS, it looks sophisticated. It's a grown-up red for riders who want depth over flash.

Technical Details

This is a Metallic Pearl finish. It's complex. Tiny flakes and pearls give it that shimmer, but they are heavy. They want to sink. If you aren't careful, the metallic can mottle or create dark stripes. The color relies on light reflecting off those suspended particles. It's a "living" finish that shifts from a dark berry in the shade to a vibrant clay in the sun. It hides dirt well, but it reveals poor technique quickly.

Best Practices

Check for your ID sticker under the seat or along the frame rail. Before you spray or dab BMW-Motorcycles Canyonrot (check for code 343), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. Do not skip this. Those pearls need to be fully suspended to match the factory depth. Test the color on the included card to see how the flakes lay down. When applying, keep the container moving at all times. Work in a garage or the shade to ensure the drying time stays consistent. Layers are better than one heavy coat.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my vehicle’s paint code?

Your paint code is usually found in the driver’s door jamb, trunk, or under the hood. See our BMW-Motorcycles Paint Code Guide for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Because your BMW-Motorcycles is older or uncommon, the most accurate option is custom matching where you mail in a small painted part for a hand match. Our paint technicians usually do a great job matching BMW-Motorcycles color code '343' but a perfect match cannot be guaranteed.

Do I need primer and clearcoat?

While primer is recommended on bare metal or plastic, clearcoat is essential: it protects the basecoat and restores factory gloss.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are mixed fresh and ship within 3–5 business days. Delivery takes 2–14 days depending on location.

Which touch up product should I choose?

 It depends on the size of the damage:

  • Paint Pen (½ oz) – Best for very small chips and fine scratches.
  • Brush Bottle (2 oz) – Great for medium chips or scratches up to the size of a quarter.
  • Spray Can – Ideal for larger areas and panels.
  • Professional Sizes (Pint, Quart, Gallon) – Designed for full panel and vehicle resprays using spray equipment.

Not sure? If it’s just rock chips or small scratches, start with a Paint Pen.

Can I return my order?

Yes! If there’s a color match issue, we’ll replace the product or give you your money back. You also can return unopened, non-custom accessories for a full refund.

How long will the paint last in storage?

Paint pens and bottles last about a year if stored cool and dry. Spray cans can last several years if the nozzle is cleaned.
