I'm so MAD!!!
Well I got a 4.8is kit back in November and finally got it painted. Some of you might remember me asking for the paint code for the Toledo Blue (482). Well guess what happens, the guy at the bodyshop calls BMW and asks for the paint code and they tell him (381). Which is the blue for LeMans Blue!!!

I went by tonight and noticed this and now they have to get it corrected. At first he was like its the same! I asked him if he seriously thought they were the same and he still said yes. I asked him to see what paint code he used and its (381).

Sorry to hear that. Stay cool until the work is completed. You don't want some pissed off body shop guy working on your kit.

Sorry Benathon. I know that you have been planning this for some time now. But it will all look great at the end with an extra coat of paint. We expect some pictures in a few days!

That's odd. Did you give the shop the paint code? If so, why did they check it again. You're the customer.

When I droped it off, they couldn't find the paint code; so I went on here to ask at night. I got the paint code from informed members here and called him the next day with it. He told me he already got it; I double checked and made sure it was 482 and for some reason it's painted 381.
