Black Alloy Paint Code
Hi Guys,
Marked one of my alloys today and thought it would be time to go black! Does anyone know the OEM paint code for the black alloys? Is it a satin finish? Thanks, James |

I think it's like a low gloss black.. not matte and not gloss black. I have been interested in doing the same to my OEM wheels. Haven't done too much research into it yet. Been busy on a few other mods.

Hi Aaron,
I have had a quote from BMW to have this done but it would be paint not powder coat. I can't really see any issues with doing it this way can you? |

What were you quoted for paint, roughly $175/wheel?

^^Personally, I would not even consider this as an option. Cheap route is not always the best way. If my car were a Honda..ya sure.... on a BMW... NO WAY!!.

You are right. You get what you pay for. But I can tell you that, you cant tell the difference between a Painted Matt Black and Plasti Dip. And you would be surprised how many BMW owner's choose to go this route.

Thank you Neil, really appreciate that.
Do your black wheels have black valve stems? I can't seem to find black ones anywhere so wondered if everyone just leaves them silver. Even the OEM factory black wheels? |
