    Polishing BBS RS and question about touch up

    I'm bore today so decided to clean the BBS RS003.
    I don't know what did the PO of the car do, wheels have all these stain mark, probably left over from cleaning using chemical.


    Spent about 1.5 hours per wheel using Meguiars Mag & Aluminum polish, painful part are those bolt surrounding area, they all turn up mirror finish





    This set of wheels are in show car condition, still it has a few small spot of paint chip, if I want to touch them up, what kind of paint should I use ?

    Looking good!
    Dunno how to did that around the bolts, I pull wheels apart just to give them a tidy up, hate the idea of going around the bolts.

    Dunno if you could get a touch up pen that would be close enough, doesn't look like genuine Bbs gold

    Dylan, what paint would be closest then? I keep reading the same results of GK1, 2C2B, or W083G, but can't find a solid answer either way.
    Cheap, Fast, Reliable. Choose two.

    BBS paint is near impossible to replicate from what I have seen. its not just the colour, its how they paint it is my understanding

    From what I've read, Wurth Metalic Gold = BBS Gold, unfortunately we poor Australian has limited access to all good stuff.

    VWVortex.com - Anyone know the paint code for BBS Gold?
