Paint

Post by O2BFREE »

Anyone tell me how/where to find the paint code for my '03 530I? Also, I want to try Dr. Colorchip on a small "ding", any experience?

Thanx

Thanx for the reply Jeff. Unfortunately, nothing under the hood. Local bodyshop says it's contained in the Serial #.
Thanx again

It's not in the VIN to the best of my knowledge. It is on a plaque that should be on one of the shock towers - driver's side IIRC.

Finally got it! The paint code for the '03 530 is contained in the last (7) seven digits of the serial #.

Thanx all for your replies
