I stripped my E88 black centers and want to paint or powder coat back to original silver. Shop painted it a high temp silver and it came out too gray.
Anyone have/know a source for the paint color or powder coat number?

I talked to the shop and think this Porsche silver is still a bit grey. The BBS silver is closer to a polished silver than a OEM Porsche wheel color which has more gray in it. Anyway, will shoot some sample on a aluminum beer can and look at it.

BBS Gold goes with everything!

Not Lapis and Not E88, but you get the idea
