He used a special paint for Mag Wheels but don't ask me what it is sorry .. He mentioned to me that completely flat is not recommended so he mixed / applied 3% satin into the paint mix. Apparently 4% satin is the norm so I went a little less than norm.

Also thanks for all the comment guys. Appreciate it

Cheers Kman

Wow....I love your X5! I want mine to look like yours! lol

Check out some pics of my X5:
http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...y-x5-215s.html

We have some similarities.....white on black rims.

I really like the fact you had everything painted the same color as the body. How complicated was that?

Did you have a body shop remove all the black plastic parts and paint them with the BMW factory paint so the match would be perfect?

How much did you spend on having all the black components painted white?

I have a bunch of other questions regarding the paint work you had done as I would like to go the same route and have all my black plastic painted as well.

What about the drop.....is the ride very rough? I find that the combination of the 21" rims and the run flats make for a very rough ride so I thought dropping it would take it over the top....what's your take on that?

Do you have 30% all around? Ceramic tints?

Sorry for all the questions but I really like what you did!
