inside of trunk lid shown as it's the least faded.

need to tell body shop what color to paint rims. (don't have weather or heated shop for painting myself, and need to drive car out of my garage for some fire inspection this week.)

Looks like B5 blue, but if the fender tag is present you can get the paint code from that and be certain.

Tough to tell from this photo whether it's B5 or B3. Definitely go to the fender tag -- post a clear, sharp, full-frame photo of it and we can decode it for you.

would the "EB5"at the beginning of the second line mean B5?

Body shop wanted over $600 to paint my rims.

New tires went on unpainted rims.

I'll paint myself in spring with tires & valves on with a lot of masking work.

(If I make a good bench mark, I can remove and reinstall the balancing weights without much difficulty, right?)

the factory painted them black, then painted the outside blue (letting it overspray into the holes in the rim so it looks blue all the way through when looking at it from outside the car.)

I'm doing the same.
