BMW M2 Touch Up Paint (37 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

BMW clearly decided that "subtle" was a suggestion, not a rule, for the M2. With 37 recorded colors, they really went for it-ranging from the high-voltage Sao Paulo Yellow and Voodoo Blue to the "I mean business" look of Twilight Purple. Whether you are sporting the classic Alpine White III or the liquid-metal vibe of Hockenheim Silver, your car is basically a rolling statement piece.

What to Watch For

Here is the reality: that aggressive, wide-hipped stance looks amazing, but it makes the rear flared arches a massive target for road debris. You are almost guaranteed to find a few "battle scars" (rock chips) near the rear wheels. You might also notice that the factory clear coat can be a bit sensitive to water spotting if left out in the sun. To get your fix started, go hunting for your 3-digit paint code; you'll usually find it on a sticker in the driver's side door jamb or stamped on the strut tower under the hood.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since BMW packs a lot of personality into their metallic and pearl finishes (looking at you, Long Beach Blue), those tiny sparkles like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or jar for at least a full minute-seriously, time it-to make sure the metallic "shimmer" is evenly mixed. When applying, skip the giant brush that comes in the cap for those small chips on the arches. Instead, use the point of a toothpick to drop the paint exactly where it needs to go. It requires patience, but it keeps the repair tidy and flush with the rest of your beautiful paintwork.
