BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E91, E90, E92 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Bodywork
Operation: How to mix existing paint with that of a new body paint.

Before painting a part of the bodywork it is necessary to protect the part of the bodywork with plasticized sheets that are attached with adhesive paper. Use a suitable liquid to moisten the part of the bodywork to be painted. Pour the paint into the tank of the gun connected to the compressor and paint the body with a first pass. After about ten minutes, give it a second pass. Now use a special product to make the paint shine. After this work, we need to see if there are any imperfections in the transition from the new paint to the old one. If so, proceed to remove it with the use of very fine glass paper soaked in water. Carry out this operation gently and carefully. Finally, pass some abrasive paste with a suitable tool. The maintenance operation carried out in this video is carried out on a BMW 3 Series.
