Paint Match

Hey guys, I just bought a pair of eye lids for my car. I was wondering if I can use a regular brand like duplicolor to paint them black...? I have a 2011 Jet Black 135i. Will it match well? Or is there another brand you recommend? I dont want to spend too much but I want it to match well.

if you are trying to match the color on your car then try this site. This is where i get all my touch up paint. They offer it in a spray too.

$30 for a match. I just bought a cheap can of paint for a Cub Scout project for my son and spent $7. Please buy the correct color first it will look so much better and be cheaper in the long run. If you can't swing the $30 now then wait.

Don't know for sure if I'd trust that ebay one, but it does say 668 which is your OEM color code.

Google 668 bmw paint gets a ton of hits like these. Best of luck!
