Anyone know paint code for shadowline trim?

Hi guys,


Looking to order a rear spoiler for my car, but wanted it to match the shadowline trim on the msport.

Any idea of the code?

I found 475 which is a metallic black, but not sure if it is the same.


Any help appreciated.

It's not metallic, metallic has metal flakes in it!

I got a Hycote Jet Black touch up paint for my M Sport gloss black window surrounds which had some stone chips and it is a perfect match.

Would this 668 jet black work on my 2010 e92 shadow line trim?

Apologies for reviving a very old thread but I was hoping someone could help me.

I have areas on my shadowline trim where the jet black colour has chipped/come off and now reveals a chrome-ish layer. I have bought a similar touch up paint stick to yourself. What is the application process to achieve a smooth finish? I know this is a noob question but I am new to this and want to achieve the best result possible.

Thanks

Fill in the chips, wait at least 24 hours, sand flat with 3000 grit wet n dry paper, polish up with meguiars ultimate compound or similar finishing compound with no fillers in.
