788M Jet Black Paint Code?

Boba1214 · 01-02-2023, 11:18 PM

Hey guys, I bought a M2C that came with the machine polished finish in first pic below, and looking to get them in the darker shade that BMW calls (Jet Black) in the second pic.

Does anyone know what the paint code is for Jet Black, and whether it's that color all around or just the face? I'd like to get them painted to look exactly like the OEM ones. Thanks for your help!

There is no paint code as far as I know. It’s the same machined face as the top pic. The only difference is the clearcoat over the face is tinted with a few drops of black. The rest of the wheel is painted in black like the bi-color version. I believe the paint is Jet Black code 668 but not 100% sure.

I had no idea you could have colored clear coat. Always thought it was literally "clear." Thanks for the info, I'll look around shops in my area and see if anyone can paint them Jet Black 668
