BMW Alpine White 300: Paint Code & Touch Up Paint Guide

BMW Alpine White is one of BMW’s most recognisable solid white finishes and is commonly associated with paint code 300. If you are repairing stone chips, scratches or scuffs, confirming the code before ordering paint is far more reliable than choosing a generic white by eye.

What is BMW paint code 300?

BMW paint code 300 is widely used for Alpine White III. It is one of BMW’s best-known white finishes and has appeared on a wide range of models over many years. Always confirm the code against your own vehicle details before ordering.

Is Alpine White metallic?

No. Alpine White is generally treated as a solid white rather than a metallic or pearl finish. This makes it simpler to touch in than a multi-stage pearl white, although age, gloss level and previous repairs can still affect how a fresh repair looks.

Which BMW models use Alpine White?

Alpine White has been offered on many BMW ranges including 1 Series, 2 Series, 3 Series, 4 Series, 5 Series, X models and M cars. Availability varies by model year and market, so the vehicle model alone should never be used to confirm the colour.

How to repair Alpine White stone chips

1. Wash and dry the damaged area.
2. Degrease the chip to remove wax and silicone.
3. Remove loose paint or corrosion.
4. Prime bare substrate where required.
5. Mix the colour thoroughly.
6. Apply small controlled amounts rather than one heavy drop.
7. Allow the repair to cure before sanding or polishing.

See our stone chip repair guide for the complete process.

Does Alpine White need clear lacquer?

Whether a separate clear coat is required depends on the exact paint system supplied. Follow the instructions for your product rather than assuming every solid colour uses the same system. Our clear lacquer guide explains the options.

Why can fresh Alpine White look different?

White paint can show differences caused by age, UV exposure, contamination, previous bodywork and gloss level. The colour may also look slightly different while wet or before the finish has cured fully.
