Repainting Frozen Paint?

th3hitman316 · 12-18-2018, 10:41 PM

Has anyone here ever how to repaint a Frozen color, over the last few weeks I've been driving and basically having my FE sandblasted my car with to the point where I'm considering getting it redone before adding Xpel and ceramic pro.... needless to say that I've neglected the car with any form of protection.....also would BMW cover this since warranty on body n glass.

"Has anyone here ever how to repaint"

Sandblasted!!, whats this in English?.
What colour do you have and how has this car become "Sandblasted".

I'd assume that as he mentions its a FE that its the frozen red.

Probably following too close and now his front end is full of little paint chips....

If you have a frozen colour and live anywhere where sand or salt is laid on roads during winter months you should definitely have paint protection. From what I understand frozen paints are practically impossible to match paint.

It is as you say "a nightmare to match", they almost have to re-spray the whole car.

It's not something that would be covered under warranty.

Repainting Frozen colors requires a lot of skill and patience, both of which are hard to find without shelling out $$$$$$.

th3hitman316,

You'll definitely want to find a reputable paint shop to complete the work. Ask your local BMW Center who their preferred paint shop is and then go to that shop and make sure you're comfortable with their work and customer support.

Then once you do, let it cure, and then have XPEL STEALTH Installed so you can have carefree easy maintenance.

Thank you for your response.

Better off not getting frozen paint at all unless you never think you will ever get in a fender bender or a scratch or any accidents, it’s not practical unless you keep your car in a garage 24/7

Absolutely wrong.

I have a Frozen Arctic Grey M5 and had applied Gtechniq ceramic coating (serum ultra) and the color stayed the same.

Love the way that frozen paints look but this is the reason why i won't get it. Also a bitch to keep clean

VCP · 12-21-2018, 04:19 PM

Never will match the rest of car 100%. Never. Complete re paint is only way to get it all to match.
