This paint I think is the exact finish that I would like to see on my VO 1M's stock wheels. Anyone here has an idea, can I just go and ask a BMW service or a speciality shop to paint my wheels on this exact shade?
That's a gunmetal grey finish.

I highly recommend POWDER COATING the wheels instead of painting them. The paint will not last very long and is very prone to chipping. Powder coating will last a lot longer and will stand up to chips, dent's and dings a lot better.
