OEM trim Black paint code?

[M42Technik]

Well having the car repainted, I don't want to buy a ton of spraycans for the job if the painters can do it. I'm sure they have something for trim.

Speaking of which.. and its off the subject here but has anyone ever successfully used chrome paint and made it look like REAL chrome? The can always says, "paint color matches the cap" and I am sure many people get fooled by this. I have yet to see chrome paint that does not look like a shiny shade of silver.

Nah man , it's always a silver with metallic flakes for that "reflective" property. It's ghey

I tried the spray cans, bought 5 of them and tried and tried, with little paint, lots of paint, dipping the part, you name it, it ended looking like silver not chrome, the only thing i haven't tried is painting and then once dry sanding it, because a friend of mine tried it and got crappy results.

Yeah it's at those specialty automotive paint stores like chroma paint or watever, but I have it and it's perfect... durable too

This does not answer your question, however, I have used a spray can of "Bumper Black" out of the truck accessories catalog and got reasonably good results. They also had what they call "frame black" which is another shade of flat black which claims to have the same result.

Is this the color code for all the trim pieces, shadowline and such that goes onto BMW's?

I am curious because I am having the car repainted and would like an exact match for all my trim parts, seeing as they're getting repainted as well. Let me know people if thats it or what is!
