This is the process on the E39M5 wheels. There are a few shops that can do this, but pricing is $200 is per.
Every 'color' I've seen, as in a 'full color coat' will miss the mark on this look. There is no 'color code'.

Thank you! That's good info. I'll follow with one of the alloy wheel repair guys that I got a quote from. I would be happy if I could get this done (including minor curb rash) for anywhere as low as $200-$250 per wheel though.
