On-screen color is representative. Your exact match comes from the paint code.

Is 490 the same as FQ95-2916?

  • Manufacturer code490Usually the one on your car’s label
  • Standard numberFQ95-2916

A single factory colour is often recorded under more than one code: the manufacturer’s own code, an industry standard number, and a supplier code. They all mix to the same paint. The code printed on your vehicle’s paint label is the one to match.

Which BMW models came in Braun Kupfer Metallic (490)?

This colour is recorded at brand level — BMW did not tie it to specific models in our data. Match it by the paint code on your vehicle’s label.

Will 490 match my BMW if the paint has faded?

The kit is mixed to the 490 formula — the same code printed on your vehicle’s paint label — not colour-matched by eye. On panels that still carry their factory paint, that reproduces the original tone.

Where it will not match

  • Panels bleached by years of sun sit lighter than the factory formula. The kit reproduces the original colour, not the faded one.
  • A panel that has already been resprayed is no longer the factory colour, so the code will not describe it.
  • Metallic and pearl finishes are harder to blend across a large area than solid colours — they are at their best on chips and thin scratches.
  • Damage larger than a few centimetres, or down to bare metal over a wide area, is body-shop work.

HAPPY UPDATE: Great color match, but unused paint dried in the unopened jar after a year

UPDATE: COLORNDRIVE answered my query and advised me to add some lacquer thinner to the dried paint to make it usable again. I did, and that worked fine! They also offered to replaced the dried paint if I paid shipping.…

How it works

Three steps.
Zero blobs.

01

Clean

Wipe the chip, degrease the panel. Thirty seconds of prep is all it takes.

02

Apply

The precision tip fills the chip exactly — no drips, no brush marks, no blobs.

03

Ready

Seal and polish. The repair disappears into the factory finish.
