Title: OE edition 30 wheel colour paint code
Post by: craigy123 on October 14, 2013, 09:57:45 am

Does anyone have this or the colour close to it? I’ve checked back through the threads and VW Titan Grey Metallic comes pretty close apparently?

Titan grey is a fairly good match as is Wheelpaints international 'pescara silver' colour, neither are a completely correct match for the OE colour though..
I have a friend who is a manager at the UK BBS importer and he tried very hard to get the base coat colour code for me without much success other than finding out that the unique colour of the Pescara has more to do with a pearlescent lacquer used than the base coat apparently, they were unwilling or unable to advise on identifying that either..  :fighting:

Do you have to correct paint code for Titan grey metalic Beddie?

The closest i have found is a Fiat colour called Grigio steel 647,  indistinguishable when used for a couple of touch in stone chips on mine and they havnt been refurbed. Thats not to say if you done one wheel it would look the same, but for both wheels on same side prob ok.
