Wheel refinish to match 792M in cerium?

Hi All,

Have (had?) a flawless set of forged wheels on the car that I picked up on another forum. Took them into local tire shop to get TPMS fitted and they managed to damage the finish on all four wheels. (In retrospect I should have just lived with the tpms alert coming on…this has been a nightmare).

Now the wheel refinisher they use is saying they can’t replicate the custom color on the wheels and I’ll need to do a color change.

Since I can’t undo the damage that has been done, I’m thinking
I quite like the look of the cerium gray 792M wheels on Portimao…anyone know the paint code or codes to try to replicate that look/finish on a different set of wheels?

Thoughts on how that would look without the machined face?

Alternatively, anyone know a great wheel refinisher in DFW?

Thanks!

I had these wheels on my last M340i and one of my wheels got damaged and found someone on yelp that does wheel restore locally and he was able to match it perfect

Try and search on yelp for wheel repair or restoration in your area and maybe give them a call

You say that, but i've given that paint code to two different paint shops and neither of them are able to access the colour..
