Title: BBS Pescara colour code
Post by: wacky on July 13, 2015, 03:38:01 pm

I've booked my Pescara's in for a full refurb at a company called paint-it UK in Billericay.
The company they advised I buy the paint from is called Morelli's in Wickford.
Morelli's have advised that they believe the paint code for Pescara's could be L8Z8.
Does anyone have any experience of this code, or any idea of the likeness between that and the original Pescara colour ?
I know that the code seems to be a closely guarded secret so it seems to be a case of getting as close to the original colour as possible.

Cheers :)

I did but they claimed they didn't know the correct code.

BBS won't release the colour code. But most places should have a similar colour.

The problem is that the place I am getting the wheels refurbed get the paint from a separate supplier, so I have to tell the supplier the paint code.
Anyhow, I've found one that looks nice now so will see how it goes next week.
