So, I've just been over my BBS alloys with Wonder Wheels, and they're looking pretty tidy now.

I'm going to rub down the centre caps and spray them with some grey primer before painting them. Does any one know which type of silver paint I need to buy from Halfrauds? Is there a specific BBS silver colour?


Also, I've just picked up an IS front lip spoiler (new & unpainted), and was hoping to spray it myself...any suggestions as to what paint I should use (the car is Diamond Schwartz black)...i'm guessing a matt black finish looks best, but am open to suggestions.

Cheers :)

The specific colour for the BBS wheels (if they are 15" bbs's) is Granite silver :)

I've just been down to Sytners, and asked about the BBS paint colour whilst I was there.

They said it was either 'nogaro silver', or 'silver', so not much help.

If you've sprayed your centre caps, what did you use, and where did you get it? What was the match like?
