Donnington Grey

pvr · 04-10-2018, 05:33 AM

My dealer in the UK has told me that BMW do not make a touch up stick for Donnington Grey.

Is that correct that it does not exist?

I ordered mine from:

https://www.paintscratch.com

I've used them for several different BMWs over the years. The match has always been perfect.

pvr · 04-10-2018, 09:06 AM

Thanks both - the dealer has agreed to pay for it so I don't care where it comes from (Canada)

If that fails, will try option 2.

i would first see if a scratch could be dealt with in other ways before applying touch-up. especially on a grey vehicle. grey, pearl white, reds... they are very difficult to match so you may just wind up making the scratch more noticeable rather than concealing it.

It does exist. I purchased it from a dealer in Germany. And I agree with other comments. Touch up is very tricky on DG. I had a small scratch on my front bumper and took it to the BMW dealer for the touch up and it honestly looks worse and more visible than it was before.

pvr · 04-12-2018, 09:05 AM

It is only really for if I get a stone chip, not for scratches as grey tends to be darker from a touch up stick in my experience.

This is the first car I have had where I have nothing to touch a small chip in with though ...

I purchased my DG OEM touch-up stick from a BMW dealer in Russia. It was the only place that had it available.

I carefully touched up a scratch with an original BMW DG pen and the cure is worse than the illness. Really ugly.

desertfox73 · 08-09-2019, 11:53 AM

Have you tried DR Colorchip? That's what I used, seemed pretty good.

VETTEPRO · 08-09-2019, 05:33 PM

Dr. Colorchip is completely different. I just used it on my Azurite Black M5 that I sold last week. You seriously couldn't see the scratch and chip repairs without a magnifying glass. (only a slight exaggeration)
My wife has a White 2014 X5 M Sport and I have a Donington Gray 2016 X5 M. I'm getting a kit for both of them.

rajindergill · 08-10-2019, 03:43 AM

Try chipex.com. or the scratch doctor.

TheVazha · 08-10-2019, 09:35 AM

My local dealer ordered it from Minnesota I believe. Arrived 2 days later. Let me know if you guys need it, I'm happy to order it for you.

iconoclast · 08-10-2019, 10:46 AM

Post the part number.

Chile1 · 08-10-2019, 11:05 AM

The OEM part number should be 51912405163

Just had to order some as the garage door hit the rear bumper and took some a small amount of paint of. I found this on Ebay in the UK from a BMW Dealer.

Genuine BMW Touch up paint, £17.50.

Too bad they won’t ship to us Yanks in the USA. I had to order my OEM touch up paint from Russia which i’m still waiting to receive...

iconoclast · 08-18-2019, 03:35 PM

Not OEM but a possible option if you have the courage to give it a go:

https://www.amazon.com/TouchUpDirect...omotive&sr=1-3

syu78 · 08-18-2019, 06:35 PM

Here's another option I purchased but haven't tried it out yet. It's too hot in Houston to do anything outside lol.
