VERIFY MY PAINT CODE
Need to verify your paint code?
I’ll show you exactly where BMW places the factory paint label so you can confirm paint code 481 before ordering.
Under the hood: check the driver-side strut tower, the top of the driver-side firewall, and the passenger-side air-filter area.
Look for the factory color code on the identification label. When the label is missing or unclear, a BMW dealer can confirm the original code from the VIN.

Apply • Level • Blend
You’re repairing a BMW finished in Kalahari Beige Metallic. The Apply • Level • Blend process is the same regardless of color, but using your exact factory-matched Dr. ColorChip paint ensures the best possible repair.
1ApplyApply a small amount of factory-matched paint beside the chip with the included brush or pipette, or squeeze a small droplet from the touch-up paint bottle.
2LevelLevel the paint with the supplied squeegee or UltraBrush, or lightly swipe it across the chip using the flat side of your gloved thumb or finger.
3BlendShake SealAct™ vigorously for 10 seconds. Moisten a small section of the cloth, then use very light pressure and a rapid back-and-forth motion to remove excess paint. SealAct™ also seals the repair, so no separate clear coat is needed.
