BMW Z3 before in booth and after repaint in Alpine White 300

Before & After

This BMW Z3 roadster went from a tired factory finish to a crisp, showroom-clean white in BMW Alpine White (code 300) — the classic Alpinweiss that has defined the brand for decades. The whole repaint runs on the Alpha Automotive Paint system: DTM primer-sealer, Alpine White 300 basecoat, and HS Glamour clearcoat over a clean sealed foundation.

Here is how the build came together — the prep, the products, and the steps to bring the same factory Alpine White back on your own Alpine White 300 vehicle paint kit.

Meet the Builder: Z3 Build

This Z3 was sprayed on the exact same Alpine White 300 vehicle paint kit we ship to every customer. The system is the DTM primer-sealer, Alpine White 300 basecoat, HS Glamour clearcoat, plus urethane reducer, HS activator, and the TSS cheat sheet to keep the ratios dialed.

The Color: Why Alpine White 300?

BMW Alpine White 300 is the definitive BMW white — a clean, bright, non-metallic Alpinweiss matched precisely to code 300 as an OEMatch automotive basecoat. It is a 2-stage solid, so it lays down as a true, even white with no pearl or flake to chase.

Over a light, uniform sealer, Alpine White 300 reads bright and full, then takes on a deep, wet gloss under HS Glamour clear.

Every Way to Get Alpine White 300

Whether you're painting a full vehicle, a motorcycle, a guitar, or just touching up with a spray can — Alpine White 300 is available for every project size. Each kit includes matched products sized for the job.

💡 Pro Tip

A factory white shows every ripple. Block the body dead-straight and keep your sealer even — Alpine White will reward the prep with a mile-deep, streak-free finish.

What's Inside the Vehicle Paint Kit

These are all the products included in the Alpine White 300 Full Vehicle Paint Kit. Every product is already matched and compatible — no hunting across brands, no guessing on ratios.

DTM Primer-Sealer (AP-7541) — The white sealer that gives Alpine White 300 a uniform, full-coverage foundation. AP-7541 DTM primer-sealer seals the bodywork so the color reads even across every panel.

Alpine White 300 Basecoat — The color coat. Alpine White 300 basecoat mixes 1:1 with reducer and builds in smooth, even coats.

HS Glamour Clear (AC-4521)AC-4521 HS Glamour clearcoat lays the deep, glassy gloss over Alpine White 300 and locks in UV and chip protection.

Alpha Urethane ReducerAlpha urethane reducer thins the basecoat to a spray-ready ratio for even, controlled coats.

HS Activator (AH-7100)AH-7100 HS activator catalyzes the HS Glamour clear so it cures hard, clear, and durable.

TSS Cheat Sheet — The TSS cheat sheet keeps every mix ratio and flash window at your fingertips through the whole job.

Optional Add-Ons

The vehicle paint kit has everything you need to go from prepped surface to finished paint. But depending on where your project is starting, these add-on bundles can save time and money on the prep and masking side:

The Complete DIY Process

Step 1: Prep & Bodywork

Every clean finish starts with the metal underneath. Block the body straight and knock down the old finish with OptiGrit abrasives before a single coat goes on — Alpine White 300 will telegraph every flaw left behind.

Step 2: DTM Primer-Sealer (White Sealer)

A white sealer of DTM primer-sealer is the foundation this color lays over. Shoot it uniform and let it flash before basecoat so the color reads full and true.

Step 3: Alpine White 300 Basecoat

Alpine White 300 basecoat mixes 1:1 with Alpha urethane reducer and builds in smooth, even coats. Let each coat flash fully — patience here is what keeps the finish deep and even instead of blotchy.

Step 4: HS Glamour Clearcoat

HS Glamour clearcoat, catalyzed with HS activator, is where the depth comes alive — it buries the color in gloss for that wet, glassy finish and gives you the UV and chip protection.

Step 5: Cut & Buff

Once the clear is fully cured, a light cut with fine OptiGrit and a buff brings Alpine White 300 to a mirror. Reference the TSS cheat sheet for ratios and flash windows so nothing gets rushed.
