Arrow BBS 18" Indianapolis Alloys - Paint Matching?

Howdy to all,
I recently obtained a 'used' BBS 18" Indianapolis Alloy Wheel and plan to refurbish it - to then use that as the spare in the trunk (get rid of the OEM spare)

Can anyone advise if there is a paint colour spec (silver) for these alloy wheels - so that I can match the existing ?

All help appreciated...

Doing a quick search on the net, it appears if you give Nalley Jaguar a call, they know the paint code for the wheels. From there you can take that code to any local auto paint store and they will be able to mix up a (half) liter of paint for you. From there, you use an air brush or spray gun to repaint the wheels. Do not forget to apply a layer of clear (or two) once you get the color down.

Hi Thermo,
Being downunder.... I have no contact info for 'Nalley Jaguar', However I do have local Jaguar dealership contacts - I guess they may have access to the info you speak of ?

I'll give them a bell.... and see what comes forth.

Thanks again.....
