BAV BRICK Custom Edition: 3 Stunning Finishes & Verified Costs

A BAV BRICK custom edition is an existing model with recolored exterior parts in finishes like matte black, electroplated or chrome, and BAV BRICK’s refund policy excludes customized products from returns. Prices, stock and discount data below were checked on September 23, 2026, and any of it can change. This guide compares the three finishes, shows what a listed price actually covers, and explains where a discount code fits.

What does a BAV BRICK custom edition change, and what stays the same?

A BAV BRICK custom edition swaps the exterior color and finish of an existing model, not the model’s design. According to BAV BRICK’s Custom Color Limited Edition collection page, the store offers exterior color customization on all the models it sells, and the collection showed 104 in-stock listings on September 23, 2026. Titles vary, so the same idea also appears as Limited Edition, Special Edition or Customized Version.

The listing notes describe how the work is done. On its Lamborghini Sian custom listings, BAV BRICK says certain original packaging components and pieces are removed, finished by hand spraying, roller application or electroplating, then heat-set and dried.

Three conditions are easy to miss:

• Several listings put an exterior-parts-only option next to the full kit, such as Only Black Exterior Parts on the McLaren P1 Matt Black Custom Edition and Only Black Exterior Parts with decals on the McLaren W1 Matte Black Custom Edition.
• Some custom editions are MOC versions. The Ford Shelby GT500 Matte Black listing says its MOC version comes with an electronic PDF manual only.
• A recolor covers the visible body, not necessarily every part. One buyer review on a BAV BRICK custom edition page says the base kit’s orange pins for the standard color still had to be used, though they were barely noticeable.

Matte black, electroplated or chrome: which BAV BRICK custom edition finish suits you?

Matte black gives a subdued, low-glare look, while electroplated and chrome finishes give a mirror-bright look that needs wiping after handling. BAV BRICK’s own care note on its electroplated listings says the mirror-effect finish may retain fingerprints, which can be wiped off with a soft cloth or paper. The same note says a protective oil or paint layer from the metal painting process may transfer to your hands during assembly.

The store does not use its labels consistently, so read listing names closely. Its catalog includes Electroplated Black, Plating Mirror Wine Red, Electroplated Mirror Royal Blue and Chrome Plated versions, and the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ LBWK Electroplated Black listing describes chrome-finish panels. Judging by those names, chrome is the silver-mirror version of the plated look, while electroplated is the wider label that also covers colors.

How to choose between them:

• Choose matte black if you want a subdued look and the lowest full-kit starting price among the examples checked, which was the Shelby GT500 at $175.09.
• Choose electroplated if you want the mirror effect in a color such as wine red or royal blue and will keep the model in a case.
• Choose chrome if you want the silver mirror look, and confirm the price first, since only one chrome listing was found.

The trade-off is simple: a mirror finish shows every touch, and matte gives up the shine. If you only want plating as an accent, the Matte Black McLaren W1 listing sells upgrade options with gold or silver plated engine, lights and disc brakes.

What does a BAV BRICK custom edition cost right now?

Among the matte black and electroplated examples checked, starting prices ran from $175.09 to $298.69, but the lowest price on a listing is not always the price of the full kit. These figures come from BAV BRICK’s Custom Color Limited Edition collection page as displayed on September 23, 2026, and they can change:

• Ford Shelby GT500 Matte Black (3,400 pieces): from $175.09, shown against a crossed-out $226.59.
• Lamborghini Sian Black Special Edition (3,696 pieces), in matte black or mirror black: from $205.99, against $236.89.
• BMW M4 GT3 Custom Barrel Matte Black Paint (4,556 pieces): from $278.09, against $298.69.
• Jeep Wrangler 1:6 Electroplating Black (2,121 pieces, remote controlled): $278.09, against $298.70.
• Pagani Huayra BC Mirror Electroplating (4,708 pieces): from $298.69, against $318.27.

Lower numbers deserve a second look. The McLaren W1 Matte Black listing starts at $51.50 and the McLaren P1 Matt Black listing at $72.09, and both include an Only Black Exterior Parts variant. The P1 page pairs its $72.09 with a crossed-out $236.89 and a $164.80 saving badge. That gap is far larger than the roughly $20 to $52 savings on the full kits above, so the headline saving probably reflects a cheaper variant rather than a like-for-like markdown. Click each variant to see its own price.

Can you return a BAV BRICK custom edition if the finish disappoints you?

Probably not, because BAV BRICK’s refund policy page says its 30-day return clause does not apply to customized products. The same page lists custom products, such as special orders, among non-returnable items and says sale items cannot be returned. All five sets priced above show a crossed-out price, so one purchase can fall under both exclusions.

The product-page FAQ paints a friendlier picture. On the Jeep Wrangler listing, it says returns are accepted for 30 days after the order date or 7 days after delivery, whichever comes last, and it does not mention custom exceptions. When two pages disagree, get the answer for your exact variant from BAV BRICK support before you pay, and keep it in writing.

Faults are handled separately. The refund policy asks buyers to inspect an order on arrival and to contact BAV BRICK immediately about defective, damaged or wrong items.

What should you know about shipping and warranty?

BAV BRICK ships worldwide with tracked couriers, but its pages do not agree on when shipping is free, so confirm the total in your cart.

Is there a discount code that works on a BAV BRICK custom edition?

Third-party trackers list working BAV BRICK codes today, but none of them is confirmed to apply to a BAV BRICK custom edition. On September 23, 2026, SimplyCodes listed nine verified codes, the largest at 20 percent off storewide, and showed a user report dated September 20, 2026 for an 8 percent code. None was tested on a BAV BRICK custom edition cart for this guide.

SimplyCodes’ shopper FAQ warns that codes may be rejected on already discounted sets, which matters here because every priced example above carries sale pricing. Its tracking history also shows BAV BRICK codes clustering between May and August, with none recorded from November through January in each of the past two years, so the sale price on a listing may be the main saving later in the year.

BAV BRICK’s site says its VIP email list gives access to VIP-only models, offers and discounts, and the pages checked do not promise a fixed welcome discount. Plan on one code per order. Before you pay, try the newest tracker code in the promo box. If the total does not drop, the sale price on the listing is your price.

How do you order a BAV BRICK custom edition without surprises?

Check the variant, the return status, the shipping total and the promo box, in that order, before you pay.

1. Open the exact listing and select every variant you might buy, because exterior-parts-only options can sit behind a low starting price.
2. Read the finish note on the listing, which covers repackaging, oil residue on plated parts, fingerprints on mirror finishes and any PDF-only manual.
3. Ask BAV BRICK support in writing whether your variant, at its current price, can be returned, and save the reply.
4. Add the set to your cart and read the shipping line before choosing a payment method.
5. Test one current code in the promo box, then pay with PayPal or Shopify Payments, which BAV BRICK says carry 180-day buyer protection.
6. Inspect the parcel on arrival and photograph any defect before you start building.
