I have Alpina B12 5.0 (-90) which needs some repaint. The color of the car is Alpina blau. Does anyone know the color code for this Alpina color? I have found one Alpina blau from 1994 BMW color chart, but i'm not sure if it's the same color.
If you contact Alpina with the chassis number of your car they should be able to help you. The exact paint mixture for the Alpina-specific colors is well guarded by Alpina.

You can determine the colors to mix by analyzing the paint on the car. That's typically how it's done to match the faded paint on cars once they are more than a few years old. However mixing up touch-up paint by 3rd parties - which is supported by regular car manufacturers is not done by Alpina. You must go through Alpina for this.
One of the ways Alpina guards their colors is that it is not allowed to order a regular BMW in Alpinablue or Alpinagreen at BMW Individual.

i understand what you are saying but the paint codes come from bmw charts also mix charts from the people like standox who do the original paint for bmw, the chart what i saw has all the alpina paint codes and how to get the right mixture, so if alpina are guarding it then something is wrong because bmw and standox have a full listing

I can get the Alpina paint mixture codes in a heartbeat. Nothing special.
thats what i was trying to say, what i wanted to know was why kees thinks they are guarded as the codes are freely available, theres no one that i know that buys paint from alpina even in germany everyone mixes their own, thanks sebring

I don't want to say Kees doesn't know his stuff, but perhaps some miscommunication is going on.
Although I never understand the whole mystery atmosphere about exotic paint.. Stories of VW Golf owners sending pictures of their car over to Ferrari in order to get the paint codes from them ...Yeah right..Visit me tomorrow and DRINK all the litres of Rosso or Chiaro I can get you in 5 minutes!
also just added to the fleet is a 2002 porsche 996tt in silver full options and auto with the old tip-tronic
