I was trying to find BBS Gold paint awhile back, and no one seems to have it. BBS won't sell the paint, either.

there is no "paint code". Go to a paint supply shop, and start flipping through the color books to find the closest match

Did some chip off the rim? I mean if it did then you could always take a smaller paint chip off and have someone like Lowes paint match it.

another member painted his wheels as close to volk gold as he could.

im actually running on spacers right now, 15mm ichiba. the reason why it looks so tuck in cause its lower and the fender is a lil warp outward. long story short, im in need of a pasenger side fender. anybody know where i can get one beside the dealer?

unfortunately volk dont give out the paint code. what i did was search through a bunch of thread on gold volk. i pretty much mix the paint myself, tryin to get it as close as possible. let me tell you , it aint easy as it looks. i swear when i mix the paint the second time around it looks exactly like the pics but when its done painting it came out a little lighter.
and its actually not that bad, i like how it came out.

I never liked GT-7's, but damn they look terrible on the new sedan. Yuck!

But yeah, Ray's doesn't release paint codes.
