BBS RGR in Diamond Black Silver Paint??

I have a few little paint chips off my BBS RGR's in the Diamond Black Finish. Does anyone here know the paint code for BBS's silver or something that is a close match that they used on this diamond black finish? Does anyone have any experience fixing these on this particular finish for BBS wheels? I have a been searching for codes and found some from Wurth for BBS wheels. Others suggest Alsa Corp Ghost Chrome, Acura Vogue Silver NH583M, BMW's Bright Silver. This finish is sweet and I want to make them look like new without having to refinish the entire wheel.

Thanks,
CARL

I've had mine refinished by a shop here in Atl. They did a great job matching.

Hey Waylan,
Do you still make it to Grand Rapids, MI to visit University Motors I remember? You were about to help me with a crank pulley, but I ended up doing it myself. Do you remember the paint code or can you give me their number so I can talk to them so I can have them mix a batch for me. I want to fix the small areas myself, but I want the correct match.

Thanks,
Carl

I found a german site that sells the exact paint for the process. The company is called Cetelon. I have the part number. It cost 21 US for a can. I ended up getting a close match using PPG. I just need to touch up a few spots and blend.
