I have a set of bbs that are really good but the lacquer has lost its finish in places. The plan is to give them a quick aerosol one over.

I'm looking for a soft silver to match the original finish, whats the best colour to use?

I heard it's really hard to source the original BBS colour, but others may know better. I settled for BMW Titan / Titanium silver, which is available as a rattle can from Halfords.
