Perfect Match Paint Codes for Your BMW 8 Series
Ensuring a perfect match for your BMW 8 Series paint requires using the exact factory paint code. BMW paint codes are typically three-digit alphanumeric identifiers found on a label inside the driver’s side door jamb or under the hood. Using the correct code—such as C3Z (Barcelona Blue Metallic) or 475 (Black Sapphire Metallic)—ensures that touch-ups or repaints blend seamlessly with the original finish.
For an exact color match, always choose OEM-approved paint or professional refinishing services that use high-quality materials. If the code is unclear or missing, your BMW’s VIN can help dealerships or online databases identify the precise color to restore your 8 Series to its factory-perfect appearance.
