Default BBS Oyster Paint codes

Hi, as the title implies, I'm after the paint codes for the BBS Montreal's or Detroit's. I know they are both Oyster Gold and Oyster Silver but I need the codes so my Wheel guy can powder coat them. I have had no joy trying to track these elusive codes down and now hoping somebody on this brilliant forum may be able to help.
I don't know which way I'm going to go, ie. gold or silver hence needing both codes, or even one if you know it or where it can be found.
I have mailed BBS some time ago but they haven't come back to me on.
Much appreciated and God Bless.

Terrific and thank you. Farbton Mustertafel is the name of the German paint manufacturer or the German paint colour codes. In England and America we use Pantone RAL colur charts & paintcodes which is why nobody can every find Oyster Gold and Oyster Silver. Anyhow, what you have is the answer really. I just Googled Farbton Mustertafel to see what came up and it shows a few colour charts. Ok, so now we have a starting point and just need to track down the colour reference 025 / 011063. I'll get to work on it this weekend and see what I can track down.
I have also found a company in Norwich who did a colour match for the Oyster Gold with a Champagna Gold. They haven't come back to me about the colour code though as they did it on a car I saw on You Tube but it was an excellent match.

Curious who you are planning to use in Norwich? I’ve used BA wheels in the past there.

You might try SBWheels, as they have just about everything for BBS Wheels!

St. Stephen.....Why Powder Coat? You can repaint your Wheels and they will look just as good as P/C as many times as you want for 25% of the cost and they will look as good if not better in the long run! Over the years, I have re-painted mine (3) times and each time they look like brand new! Much cheaper and does the same job.....

Good Luck!
