My rear end has measles....

Now that my 2009 3 300 has passed its MOT it was time for a quick service and check over!

Thankfully everything seemed to be in order (although really surprised how dirty / clogged the air filter was!)

However, the rear of the frame, especially above the number plate and beside the supercharger belts seems to have caught what can only be best described as measles...lots of list black marks in the silver paint. Quick clean does no good and even a quick rub with very fine steel wool does nothing to remove them :(

Looks like a partial respray may be required. Anyone found anything similar??

Big challenge of course...what is the correct paint code....have searched for this in the past with no luck....HELP!
