Where to buy paint in US
I am wanting to repaint a series 3 in pastel green, color code LRC-005. Does anyone know where I can buy this paint in the US. I found it online at Paintman among other places, but they do not ship to the US. Many thanks.
Any competent body shop supply store in your area will be able to supply you. While "factory pack" paint colors can often be purchased, 99.99% of all automotive paint being sold is mixed on demand just like when you buy house paint at Home Depot. Tell the automotive paint supplier the paint code, give them money, carry your paint home.
Also, since you asked elsewhere about paint job costs... I recommend you let a body shop supply their own paint for a respray. If you showed up at my shop wanting a full respray and you handed me paint as well, I'd either turn down the job or have you sign a "it ain't my responsibility" document before getting started. If there is any problem related to the materials you supplied, a shop isn't going to feel inclined to suck up the extra work/materials costs as a result.
