Any good alloy wheel refurbisher should be able to match the colour.

I believe "Lepsons" do a nationwide service and seem to get very good reviews, but there are local firms who are equally fastidious.

Sorry to hijack the thread....

...but what if the wheels you already have were also painted (being silver from original) and you want to refurbish them? In my case not all rims are the same color unfortunately. They seem to differ a bit, which makes it worse to decide which tone would be the right one (if any is in the first place).

So, is there a color code which i/we could follow matching the original anthracite wheel color?

Cheers,
Robert

Shadow chrome is quite similar to anthracite, a little brighter. All powder coaters know should know shadow chrome

Not a very good picture but this is shadow chrome, it has more reflectivity that anthracite and I think that improves the look. Shadow Chrome is well known in the trade



Edited to add

Here's a comparison shadow chrome versus silver
