Paint code for Edition 30 BBS Pescara alloys
« on: 20 June 2010, 20:04 »
Hi guys,

Re: Colour code for Edition 30 BBS Pescara alloys

I’ve just scuffed my alloy and I’m pi55ed off!  :sick:

I know this has been asked many times before, but did we ever get a definitive answer on the BBS paint code?

I’ve checked back through the threads and VW Titan Grey Metallic comes close, Wurth paint is mentioned and yesterday my dealer quoted 8Z8.

My local paint shop can mix any colour, if he’s got the code, but he looked at my wheel colour and wasn’t happy about getting an exact match. I believe in Germany there’s a service to get your alloys refurbed by BBS but not in the UK. It seems it’s a closely guarded secret.

I’m based in Bournemouth and have heard good things about Ooops and Alloy Magic Ltd... has anyone used them... good or bad?

Any info would be appreciated.

Regards... Hotrod (Steve)

Don't know your code mate but Alloy Magic are supposed to be good (in in Poole).  I don't think Oops do them on site so I would steer clear.

Bump could be worth a look, that's Poole Audis bodyshop up Tower Park way but won't be cheap methinks!  I know a fantastic bodyshop in Poole that did the wheels on my van, P&S bodyworks opposite Poole football ground behind Gear Box on Stanley Green Rd, do a very good paint job there.

Cheers Gossa,

I’ve used Poole Audi’s bodyshop a number of times with mixed results, however they got there in the end.

Thanks for the ‘Heads Up’ on the others. I’ll check them out.

I bought a tin from wheelpaints.co.uk and it's nowhere near the OEM colour, complained but they blamed the wheel sprayer - stay clear of them and get a paint specialist to match it by hand.

Pisses me off that VW don't have a touch up for Pescara alloys ''over the counter'' . Come on VW.

When mine got damaged they sprayed the "lip" with it and the match was perfect. They had got some of this paint in, to touch up some similar Audi A3 alloys.  :wink:
