Sourcing Titanium Silver spray paint

I placed an order through my local dealer for a Titansilber BMW paint kit P/N 51911052566 - two 150ml spray cans - base+clearcoat. The part was supposed to come from Germany but as it turns out it does not meet some Canadian requirements and they blocked the order on that end. Which is interesting as it is supposed to be available and is listed in both BMW Canada and BMW Motorrad Canada part catalogs...

Anyway, I have a row of small scuffs under the front bumper from the previous owner driving over a parking bump/stop and as a winter project I was going to fix that using the above kit.
Anyone knows where I can source a perfectly matching BMW Titanium Silver code 354/7 paint in the spray can in Greater Vancouver?

Reviving this hoping someone knows a good place to get Titanium Silver paint locally.
Bumper was painted at a body shop, but now I have a spoiler to spray. A winter project if you will.
Anyone?

In Ottawa here we have a CMAX dealer that can mix up any colour paint you need.

Go to any Napa Autoparts store if you can’t find a CMAX. Napa is affiliated with CMAX. You just need to supply the paint code and they will order in what you’re after.

Why not just have a body shop paint your bumper for you? They can match it via the paint code under the hood or with a spectrum analyzer by scanning the area you need to be painted.

I got the bumper done by the bodyshop. They did an excellent job.
I have another project now (a Hartge rear spoiler, originally in black) and was going to go DIY route this time.

If you really want to DIY the painting... why not ask your body shop for the paint in a spray bottle. I know that most paint supply shops over here can make you a "rattle can" to go.

I bet you could also get the paint from a Mattos - if you have them in your area. They make commercial supplies for automotive shops in the US. There is also Wurth - a German company that offers the same services in the US.

good luck,
Dackel
