Cutting-edge technology meets skilled craftsmanship: BMW Individual Dual-Finish is a world first.
The new BMW Individual Dual-Finish paint concept is genuinely unique. In this complex process, a matt paint finish in the lower area of the car combines with a manually applied metallic finish in the upper section of the body. Together with the Coachline - likewise drawn by hand – this creates a discreet but supremely elegant look.
More than any other aspect, the transition between the two paint finishes reveals the striking quality of this BMW innovation and the skilled craftsmanship of our employees who apply it. Metallic and matt paint differ significantly in their composition, but with BMW Individual Dual-Finish there is no noticeable transition point where the two finishes meet.
BMW Individual Dual-Finish paintwork represents the pinnacle of what is currently possible in painting techniques. Experts have spent two-and-a-half years developing this innovative technology, which can only be used at BMW Group Plant Dingolfing as things stand and is only available for the BMW 7 Series Sedan. More than 20 specially trained employees are involved in a complex process in which the car is prepared manually for each of the 12 steps in the painting process. Among the tasks they carry out are taping the car by hand and sanding down the body to prepare it for the manual painting process. Around half of the work time is accounted for by these manual jobs. Each car ordered with a BMW Individual Dual-Finish will spend more than 75 hours – i.e. over three full days – in the paint shop. This is almost six times longer than for a conventional paint finish.
