The local recommended paint shop is struggling to match my 28L top case with the other painted panels.
For a '13 GT, what is the correct code for the Dark Graphite Metallic? My dealer says it's "NB2", but I think that's the color "scheme", not an individual color. The paint shop's supplier has no cross reference but thought Dupont's A90 was the match - but it's not. It's way too metallic.
My paint shop then broke out their color match device, which I thought was where they might have started, and pronounced A90 a correct match, but too metallic. Next week they're calling over their supplier's color match expert to try to figure this out. (I've left a side case with the shop as the color reference). This is a very small job for the shop but they're trying very hard to get it done well.
I think, after looking at some of the online BMW parts fiche, that 919 is the actual code for DGM - but that doesn't seem to compute either.
If I could tell the shop, and the supplier's expert, what the exact BMW color code is, and who manufactures it, maybe I'd get this top case back and ready to ride!
