Auto paint for the 1996 BMW Z3

CarmaCars takes requests for paint work on the 1996 BMW Z3, and rents you a car while yours is in. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.

What your car means for the work

At 4.03 m long, it is a compact car to work on. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. NHTSA lists it at 4.03 m long. Parking on city streets is easy. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.

What to send us

A person reads your request and replies with the next step. We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected.

Keep driving meanwhile

We collect the rental when your car is ready. A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.

On the day

Ask any question you have before the work starts. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.

How the price is set

Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. We price the job before we start, never after.

How long you are without it

We keep you posted if the timing changes. Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens.

After the work

Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax.

Next step

Tell us what the car needs and when it is free.
