PM sent. Thank you for the order

Looking to buy an EB set, would probably come direct to the shop. What price would I be looking at (with/without install)?

Thumbs down

Whoever said Mineral White was a match must have gotten lucky. I bought these IND painted reflectors off Mod Bargains because they've always given me great customer service, but apparently there is nothing they can do about IND's flawed paint. Not only was Mineral White the only color that has a $15 premium upcharge, but they don't match the paint AT ALL. I called to see what the deal was and we talked to IND and their excuse was that there is no actual way to replicate Mineral White. So the question I ask is why charge more for an inferior product? Very dissatisfed

We are very sorry to hear about your experience with our painted reflectors. Mineral white is a great color, but is a 3 stage paint. 3 stage paints depend on many variables to get an exact match and without the vehicle in-house it is nearly impossible to get 100%. We have noticed variance between vehicles and even panel to panel on the same vehicle. For instance, a few posts above yours is a Mineral White M235 with a good match. We charge the additional $15 as it is simply more expensive to paint a 3 stage.

We do try our best to alert our clients and vendors of this variance, but sadly we are not able to reach everyone. If you are interested, please send an email to support@ind-distribution.com. Our support manager can then reach out to **********s.

I agree, Mineral White is truly an amazing color and well worth the extra money. Alpine White doesn't hold a candle to it when you compare them in real life. Looking at the reflectors I got from you guys though, they don't have Mineral White's signature pearlescence...there is no 'metallicness' to it. It's as flat as Alpine White. All the BMWs I've seen in Mineral White don't seem to have such extreme individual tone discrepancies, so I don't know how having my car's paint matched in-house really would have made a difference. I'm not an expert in paint, but a 3 stage painting process for white seems a little arduous. It's better than the stupid orange s**t reflectors that come with it but nonetheless I obsess over every detail and I can't stop looking at these painted reflectors and wish they came out better. What would your support manager be able to do?

The only 3 stage paint (pearl) in BMW's line is Mineral White. PM will be over shortly.

Having the vehicle in-house allows us to tint the reflectors and try different gun angles for the pearl coat. All pearl paints are called 3 stage as the pearlescent coat is a stage separate from the base coat and clear coat. This is what gives the paint the color changing property.

So is this just paint of the OEM reflectors that are already on our cars? Do they not make like a primed version of these reflectors? Because I didn't know that these reflectors could simply be painted over.

All of our core reflectors are 100% genuine BMW reflectors. We sand the reflectors to remove all lettering and create a smooth surface. From there they are sealed, primed, and painted.
