BMW M8 Touch Up Paint (49 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

BMW didn't just release a car with the M8; they released a 49-shade personality test. Whether you're rocking the boardroom-ready Black Sapphire Metallic, the "look-at-me" Isle of Man Green, or the deep, moody Tanzanite Blue, it's clear the designers really went for it. With nearly 50 colors on the books, your M8 is less of a vehicle and more of a high-speed canvas.

What to Watch For

The M8 is a low-slung masterpiece, which is great for aerodynamics but bad for staying pristine. Because of that long, sloping hood, this car is essentially a vacuum for road gravel. You'll likely notice "road rash"-those tiny white peppercorn chips-on the front bumper and leading edge of the hood. Before you get started, pop the driver's side door and look at the door jamb for your 3-digit paint code. If it's not there, check the driver's side strut tower under the hood. One heads-up: if you have a "Frozen" (matte) finish, remember that the goal is a stealthy repair, not a shiny one.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many M8 colors like Marina Bay Blue or Dravite Grey are packed with heavy metallic flakes and pearls, they tend to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle like it owes you money-at least 60 seconds of hard rattling-to wake up those sparkles. For those tiny "shotgun" chips on the hood, ditch the big brush that comes in the cap. Instead, use a wooden toothpick to dab a tiny dot of paint into the center of the chip. It requires patience, but it prevents the "blob" look and keeps the repair level with the rest of your beautiful paintwork.
