Title: BBS CK Original Grey (Paint Code)
Post by: rdfcpete on May 27, 2013, 09:27:46 pm
Does anyone know the paint code for the BBS CK original grey colour that you can buy them in 19"x8" in please?

I'm having a set refurbed and want to be sure I definitely get the right colour (this set are silver). Here's the visual example I can give;

Thanks.

Very nice Pete  :laugh:

I'm not sure if Alex's CKs are the original paint code.
They look amazing though  :happy2:

They're a bit lovely, are they Anthracite?
 
I've found BBS to be a wee bit secretive over their paint codes over the years, no idea why though. I'd try emailing BBS America or BBS Germany and see if you get an answer, I never did when I tried.

Bit light to be anthracite Carlo, no? I'm fairly clueless on the situation, just want them to be the factory BBS colour.

I doubt I'll get any luck then  :sad1: I was hoping for something very close when they had theirs done too, or a close as poss match?

Don't want to ask for anthracite and they come out darker than what I've got now  :surprised:
