BBS RA paint colour
« on: 04 October 2011, 18:31 »
I picked up a set of RA's at the weekend for £40  :laugh: They are in good condition but i want to get them powder coated.

Please vote and any picture example's welcome.

Cheers, Barry

I have just sold a set that came off a car I've broken (Think you had some of the parts!!) and they were in a metallic sort of Gun Metal colour, looked nice and not too different from stock... I have a few pic's if your interested!

Standard smooth silver! Don't know how far you are from them, but Lepson's do the most amazing refurbish I have ever seen on a set of BBS RA's! See pics below (not of my wheels, hope the owner doesn't mind me using his photos!)

I'll be getting mine refurbished by this company in the near future hopefully!

After first seeing these pictures, I took mine to Lepsons. I paid £220 for the set, and yes, they are as good as they look in the photos.
