Anthracite wheels.

[chili1]

Hi,

Looking to paint my silver wheels an anthracite colour.

So many variations of anthracite around.

So far, I've narrowed it down to Peugeot graphite grey or BMW sparkling graphite.
Any other nice anthracite colours around?

Did look at the Audi TT anthracite wheel colour, but believe its matt/satin?


Cheers.

Had my wheels redone recently and went for a graphite colour. Body shop doing the work had a range of around 200 different versions of graphite to choose from. Try speaking to who is going to do the work to see all the colour swatches which you can hold up to the car to see what works best.

Thanks Peter.

I'm spraying the wheels myself as I have all the kit.
All the guys I know in the trade mix their own paint, so unable to get hold of any swatches.

My research involves googling anthracite wheels and browsing the halfords paint catalogue. A lot of the anthracite wheels I've found don't have a paint code available as the owners (understandably) don't know the exact colour they have.

My specification is a mid anthracite metallica - very vague I know!

Cheers.
