Where can I find ';light metallic yellow'; touch up paint for my 2000 BMW 323Ci?
I have a 2000 BMW 323Ci (2 door coupe) with factory paint. BMW called the color ';light metallic yellow'; (basically it looks gold). I've put a lot of miles on the car and have little chips in the paint here and there on the car. Where can find ';touch up'; paint in this color without paying an arm and a leg?Where can I find ';light metallic yellow'; touch up paint for my 2000 BMW 323Ci?
If you can't find a touch-up at regular auto supply, try House of Kolor.
After six years, don't be surprised if your car's paint doesn't match the touch-up exactly.Where can I find ';light metallic yellow'; touch up paint for my 2000 BMW 323Ci?

You can buy a ';touch up'; sized bottle of factory paint at the dealer. I know it's not expensive, probably less than $30.
Find an auto shop that mixes paint and get the paint code off from the car it should be under the hood or on the inside of the glove box door.
an automotive store. AutoZone, Pep Boys, etc

How does one remove the metallic Chevy emblem off of a van to prime/paint?
Does it just pry off? How so it won't bend? How do you replace it?How does one remove the metallic Chevy emblem off of a van to prime/paint?
i don't know sepcifically, but most of the time, they have two things sticking off of them that have a circular washer looking thing on the back that locks in sort of like a rivet, but... not really.. you have to remove those.. you can probably pry it off, but you'll lose whatever it's connected to..
other times they have pinch type studs in them which go into a hole and spread out. if that's the type this is, then you will need to depress it so it will come out. you're likely to break the tabs off and need to replace it.
i'm glad to see you're doing things the RIGHT way, but, there's always the ghetto way..... tape it up, sand really well around the emblem, then prime it....hair straightener

Pearl effect or metallic paint?
What paint is better and why? (bodywork on an audi)Pearl effect or metallic paint?
none are better...but pearl looks nicer,but to much pearl can spoil it..if your painting you could always go 1 further and use flip paint.it xchanges colour like pearl but ''more'' if you know what i mean...you could even go 1 better...there are some heat/thermo paints that changes colour at different temps....Pearl effect or metallic paint?
they can both look good,but i think pearls look better because they flip when the light hits it and change colour,its possible to achieve really cool affects with pearl colours.Alot of modern metallic colours have a few drops of pearl in the mixing formula to brighten them up but they don't flip as much as a proper pearl colour.
Hi,
Pearl in my opinion as it changes colour under different light and looks really cool!

If I Was To Get My Car Re-Sprayed, Is Matte Paint Cheaper or More Expensive Than Gloss/Metallic Paint?
Just Curious...If I Was To Get My Car Re-Sprayed, Is Matte Paint Cheaper or More Expensive Than Gloss/Metallic Paint?
gloss metallic is a little more than matte maybe $ twelve more each gallon. matte is just a simple paint no shine or appearance!

What type of spray paint can be used on plastic but still give a metallic finish?
i want to find a red metallic finish to spray on PVC pipes.What type of spray paint can be used on plastic but still give a metallic finish?
Kyrlon is the only manufacturer currently making a paint that chemically bonds to plastic. Unfortunately, they only come in primary colors. That being said, there is a way around this. Use the Krylon as a base color because it will adhere to the plastic. Then come over that with a metallic paint (like Rustoleum, NOT Hammerite) to get your metal finish. Then seal the entire thing with a non-yellowing, UVB/UVA protecting polyurethane like Varathane to seal it and keep the metallic finish from peeling, flaking or fading. Use the outdoor formulation for both the Rustoleum and Varathane if your application is for outside.What type of spray paint can be used on plastic but still give a metallic finish?
If you use a plastic primer (Rust Oleum makes one), you can spray any color you want on top of it. Other than that, you're stuck with spray paint specifically for plastic and I've only seen those in regular colors and possibly a hammered finish.

This is the web site for the Krylon spray paint that adheres to plastic. On the right side of the web page, they do have some links for metallic. I don't think they have any red metallic.
They have a couple of shades of red in their regular color offerings.
There's a paint called Fusion (I think made by Krylon) specifically for use on plastics. They have a wide range of colors, including metallics.
just wipe the PVC down with acetone first this will roughen it so any paint will stick to it
