Anthracite Spider Alloys

[MTY4000]

Hello, fellow Tuscan owners. I've posted a few times on this forum but this is my first topic.
It's a bit of a dull one (sorry), but any information would be very much appreciated.

I have been mulling over changing the wheels on my Tuscan to the Anthracite ones. But ideally I don't want to buy a new set of wheels as mine are in very good order. Has anyone had their wheels repainted (maybe not the right word...) to Anthracite from Silver? If so who did you use and if you don't mind me asking how much did you pay?

I'm based in Central London.

Thanks in advance,
Ian

Try the search button, and look for POWER COAT. This is a cheaper option I think rather than paint...

I've got some 'anthracite' 5-spoke Chimaera alloys on the V8S. They go back to an aluminium finish if I wash them properly...

Thanks guys,

GreenV8S.. funnily enough this is the reason I think the anthracite ones would suit my car - she always looks best when the wheels have a mixture of brake dust and general grime on them.

If I get them refinished in an anthracite or titanium finish (?) they would look great and replicate this look all the time.

When I bought my Tuscan, I asked if they could do the anthracite wheels, racing Green said that they were sprayed and would be able to do them on site if I was interested, so maybe give them a call.

When I got the spiders fitted on the Cerb, they'd been resprayed (was clearly a paint job) to get rid of any chunks gouged out/scrapes/scratches/general wear. Would imagine that any paint would've worked as well as the standard silver.

Thanks for the advice. I'm dropping my car off with my dealers this weekend for a service - they also offer a paint service (although outsourced as I believe), there are a few paint areas I am getting looked at (roof scratch etc) so will see what they can do on the PowerCoat / Paint side.

Much appreciated, Ian.

Kev Nth has just had his Chim wheels anthracited with the addition of Spectraflair. They look superb but God help him if he kerbs one of them.I believe job was done by Walldonway in Kent.
