Okay, so they used a Metalux tint instead as it had a cleaner silver and two correct shades ...
This is the result of a quick spray up (note the paint hasn't dried completely when I took this photo - you can just see it starting to dry in the bottom left corner of the right trim piece- left hand side is original BMW, right hand side sprayed with formulated tint).
Here's the formulation for Titanium Shadow:

Nice one mate! Looks like a superb match! May just need a light rub down to flatten paintwork and to get rid of any overspray & texture.
I was only thinking of this last week when I changed mine over with some spares. The paint on the original trim can become loose and rub off very easily when doing a simple task like cleaning the alcantara - catching the edge of the trims.
Just need my spares rubbed down now and re-painted. I wonder if they used a satin lacquer to seal the paint afterwards??
