Are local repair shops in Pakistan capable of matching BMW’s original paint finish when fixing scratches?

I need to get a deep scratch on my BMW 218i’s rear bumper repaired. Can local workshops in Islamabad o r Lahore match the metallic paint properly? How do I avoid obvious patches o r color mismatches?

Matching BMW’s metallic o r pearl paint in local shops is challenging but possible:

Many local workshops don’t have BMW factory paint codes o r professional blending equipment, leading to visible mismatches.

To get a better finish, visit high-end o r specialized body shops in Lahore, Karachi, o r Islamabad that use brands like Dupont, Glasurit, o r PPG.

Ask for a paint blending service, which blends the new paint into adjacent panels for a seamless look.

Always inspect the car in daylight before approving the work.

For deep scratches, repainting the whole panel is often needed to maintain uniformity.
