Afternoon All.

Does anyone know what the paint code for Black E30 1988'ish is? Need to get a couple of litres mixed up.

Cheers
Matt

Do you mean "Diamond Schwartz" a' la the car in my profile?

Edited to add this:

Code: 181
German: Diamantschwarz
English: Diamond Black Metallic
Part Number: 51 91 1 930 070

Thanks. Its definately got lacquer on it but doesn't look that metalic to me

Its a 318i Auto supplied by Dontlift (cheers!) and I'm just tidying it up for one of my work placement students to use.

Cheers
Matt

In that case, if you are unsure, phone the dealer and tell them the chassis number.

They can then do an exact match, as apparently the paint codes change from time to time.

If you drop ScoobyZoom a line, give him the chassis no and he could probably tell you - quicker to ring a dealer though!
