Perlglanz Chrome Paint code request

agad · 06-22-2019, 09:48 AM

Hi, I’ve updated my F32 interior trim to Piano black with chrome accent and looking to paint the upper blue door trim to match the dashboard.

I’ve checked on the ETK and the correct name is Perlglanz chrome however I couldn’t match this name with any paint code!

This color has been used in the interior of most BMW cars since 2003. It’s painted on the shift knobs, steering wheel trims, light switches, radio knobs etc.
I believe there must be a paint code somewhere for this color so would be greatly appreciated if anyone could help me find it out!

Cheers

The parts aren't painted, they're molded in that color. So just buy some matte chrome paint.

This is actually a paint as it peels off in some parts. It might be powder coated instead of being sprayed! After some research I think the correct color is BMW White Aluminum but I’d still need to mix it and see how it looks like.

Hi, any follow ups on this topic? Was BMW White Aluminum a good match?

I'd love to know also. I assumed the color was dipped onto the parts, because it chipped but paint would be excellent because then items can be stripped and repainted.
