1995 BMW-Motorcycles Touch Up Paint (4 OEM Colors)

The 1995 BMW-Motorcycles Vibe

Welcome to 1995, the year BMW decided the "Airhead" was finally getting a pension and the "Oilhead" was the new sheriff in town. Whether you were carving Alpine passes on an R1100RS or crossing continents on the K1100LT, you weren't just riding a bike; you were riding a sophisticated piece of German engineering that felt like it was carved out of a single block of granite. In our database, we've focused on the survivors of this era-the real heavy hitters like Black, Green Metallic, and the ever-classic Titan Silver Metallic. These weren't the neon-splattered experiments of the early 90s; these were grown-up colors for people who actually checked their oil.

Paint Health Check

Here's the cold, hard truth from the spray booth: 1995 puts us right in the thick of the "Peeling Era." By this point, BMW had fully committed to the basecoat/clearcoat system. It looked a million bucks in the showroom-deep, glossy, and tech-forward-but that clear coat is currently living on borrowed time. The "Legend" might be bulletproof, but that clear layer on your fuel tank is likely plotting its escape. We're talking about delamination. Once the sun UV-cooks that bond between the color and the clear, it starts to lift like a bad case of road rash. If your Titan Silver is looking a little "cloudy" or starting to flake at the edges, you're looking at the beginning of the end.

Restoration Tip

If you want to keep that Green Metallic from looking like a snake shedding its skin, you've got to be proactive. Seal your stone chips immediately. On these mid-90s bikes, a tiny chip isn't just a cosmetic blemish; it's an entry point for moisture and air to get under the clear coat and start the lifting process. Grab a touch-up pen and seal those wounds the second you see them. If you let the clear lift, there's no "buffing" it back to life-at that point, you're looking at a full respray, and trust me, your wallet isn't going to enjoy that conversation.
