'Silver Chrome' is the nearest match to the OEM finish that you'll get from a refurbisher such as Lepsons, which isn't that bad a match.
If you start quoting paint codes be prepared for the price to increase substantially as it will probably be termed a 'Custom' finish.

I wanted to avoid a full refurb for now if possible and just touch up some spots with the paint. If I do go full refurb in future then i'll take a look at silver chrome but if its not too much extra might have to get 'Custom finish' lol. thanks

Ok so I went to BMW today to ask for the paint code as I cant view the thread and nobody here seems to wanna give it to me lol

they took my reg number and came back with a few different codes they showed me with german names but wasn't sure which one it was, so they said they would speak to their wheel refurb team and give me a call once they confirm the right colour.

@flamez, if you're a CSL owner why don't you become a member on here? It's pretty cheap and helps keep this valuable resource for all of us going.

yeah thats fine if its voluntary then i don't mind at all. thing is people forcing me to cough up for the info isn't cool. Especially as I managed to get the paint details very easily within a day of looking and also from bmw direct, they didnt want to charge me for the info either lol

Anyways after finding out the cost of the base coat alone, looks like I might as well forget the original paint and just get all wheels refurbed in the similar colour match
