At present, BMW's car paints are roughly divided into five types:
Ordinary coatings (also known as standard coatings)
Metallic paint (also known as silver powder paint)
Personalized custom metallic paint
Personalized customization matte paint
Personalized customized multi-layer painting
1. Ordinary paint
Ordinary paint, also known as standard paint, is the first choice for BMW. Its main components are resin, pigment and additives. Its biggest feature is pure and bright color, but lack of gloss and low paint strength.

At present, there are two kinds of mainstream common paints in BMW's global sales models: one is the familiar snow mountain white (Alpine? White), the other is black, which appeared in the China market as early as a few years ago, while ordinary paint is basically provided free of charge in the global BMW market.

Representative colors: Snow Mountain is white and black.
2. Metal coating
Compared with ordinary paint, the base material of metallic paint contains fine metal particles, so it can present richer flash effect, stronger stereoscopic effect and higher hardness than ordinary paint under light irradiation.

Since it's free, it's a fact that it costs money to install BMW metallic paint in many markets except China. For example, the familiar mineral white is a kind of metallic paint that needs to be installed overseas. Taking the new 3 Series as an example, the optional price of mineral white car paint in Germany is 877.438+0 euros, and the optional price in the United States is 550 dollars.
(minerals? White) G20? 3 series)
Representative colors: sapphire blue, cashmere silver, Boltzmann blue, quantum blue, mysterious gray, sapphire blue, etc.
It is worth mentioning that the next three BMW paints are all named as "personalized customization" because they have more paint coatings, more complicated spraying processes, higher quality, longer service life and more colorful choices than conventional BMW paints.
3. Personalized customized metallic paint
Compared with ordinary metallic paint, personalized metallic paint adds an alumina flake pigment called Xirallic on the basis of standard metallic paint, which is a patent pigment of Merck Company in Germany. It can make car paint show a very smart and shiny effect in the sun or direct sunlight, and there will be some color changes from different angles.
(electrical lime (Dravite? Grey) G22? 4 series)
Generally speaking, personalized custom metallic paint needs to be installed in any market, and the price ranges from thousands to tens of thousands. For example, the personalized customized blue crystal black car paint on the new 7 series will be provided to 740Li and above models at a cost of 1.3 million yuan. For example, Danquan Shi Lan, which Bimmer is very familiar with, is also a personalized metallic paint.

Representative colors: blue crystal black, garnet brown, lapis lazuli red, tourmaline gray, etc.
4. Personalized matte paint
I believe that matte paint is a car paint that many people like very much, and even after buying a car, they have to stick matte car clothes instead. BMW Personalized Customization matte paint uses metallic paint as primer, supplemented by matte varnish with similar color and matte effect to the topcoat, which presents matte texture and satin-like smoothness, and highlights the full and energetic lines of the vehicle from any angle.

Representative colors: matte dark silver, matte polar gray, matte cashmere silver, etc.
5. Personalized multi-layer painting
This is BMW's car paint with the highest value, the highest grade and the highest optional price, and it is also the legendary pure metallic silver car paint. It uses pigments with special effects, combines water-based paint with hundreds of thousands of ultra-thin aluminum waste, and creates car paint effects with different brightness changes from different angles with very complicated technology, and the cost is even nearly 40 times that of standard coating materials. After all, the optional price of 65,438+065,438+million is not covered.

Representative color: pure metallic silver.
Knowing the classification of BMW paint, the next step is naturally to identify the car paint. Because BMW paint has many colors, it is very easy to be confused. For example, from some angles, carbon black and Mediterranean blue will be somewhat similar. Therefore, in addition to visual recognition, in fact, every BMW car has a color code, just like the BMW chassis code, which is an identity symbol and a model to be compared when the vehicle is repainted.

For BMW sold in the domestic market, when you open the passenger's door, you can read the information on the nameplate at the edge of the door. The circled part in the picture below is the color code of the car: C3 1, which is Portman blue.
Bian Xiao also listed the common color codes of BMW paints here. If you want to know, you can also leave a message backstage, and Bian Xiao will answer.
Mineral white: A96 Snow White: 300
Sapphire blue: 475 carbon black: 4 16 blue crystal black: C47
Quantum blue: C 1M Boltzmann blue: C3 1 sky blue: c1d.

Perhaps you will hesitate when choosing BMW paint, but in a word, no matter which one you choose, it is out of personal preference, such as ordinary paint and metallic paint, the former is more transparent, the latter is more stereoscopic, and there is no absolute difference between good and bad.

Similarly, in terms of car paint maintenance, no matter which one needs your careful care, you can always keep what you see at first sight. Many car owners will choose car clothes, crystal plating and so on. After picking up the car, simply speaking, it is easy to stick the car clothes with tens of thousands of imported materials, but the advantage is once and for all. As long as it's not a big accident, you don't have to worry too much about minor cuts and bumps, which is equivalent to painting the original car with a protective film. Even if you want to change hands in the future, the quality of the original paint can be sold at a good price by tearing off the car clothes.

If it is crystal plating, the cost will be much less, which can increase the hardness and brightness of car paint, but the duration is mostly half a year or a year. If it is not continuous crystal plating, the light and shadow effect of car paint will definitely weaken. As for polishing and waxing, it should actually be moderate. If you polish too much, the paint will get thinner and thinner.

In addition, it is necessary to pay special attention to that when the vehicle is stained with bird droppings and asphalt, it should be cleaned as soon as possible, otherwise the damage to the paint will be very great.
On the eve of 20 19 Frankfurt Motor Show, BMW introduced a special model: VBX6, which is a special version of the third generation X6. It's not for sale, and it's painted with a nano-structure called VantablackVBx2, which is Vantablack pure black car paint.
Yes, black is the highlight of this special X6. This VBX6 is made by BMW and British material company Surrey? Nanosystems cooperated to build it.
Vantablack black car paint is made of carbon nanotubes, which can absorb 99.965% of visible light. It is the darkest substance known in the world at present, and the naked eye can't judge the shape of the object. 2D or 3D is silly and difficult to distinguish, but it is precisely because it is invisible that it highlights the detailed design of X6.
Car paint is the first impression when you see a car. Beautiful car paint will be the reason for choosing a car. Car paint is also the skin of a car, which needs our careful maintenance. Think about the cleanliness of the car when you pick it up at any time. The horse should not only eat grass, but also take care of it!
