Not the same wheels but powder coated anthracite

Appreciate the feedback guys. The wheels just above are the ones I was thinking of buying. Thanks for posting them up. That color looks great! I do a fair amount of custom paint work on fishing lures and have urethane paint/clear along with the right setup just not ready to commit just yet ha. I do think my current rims would look better in that Anthracite/drk grey metallic. Too bad the gunmetal plastidip isn't gunmetal!

Previous owner had some kind of touch up done on the short panel below the side vent. Definitely a mistint but the shade is actually growing on me and I've been thinking of doing the other side and also maybe the short wide trim piece on the bottom of the hatch along with the horizontal bar on the lower front bumper. Real subtle in the rear but maybe a nice touch next to maybe one of those alum thresholds/steps on the bumper.. thoughts? Anyone custom painting their FATTIES?

I think that panel has come from another car another colour. .

I had my wheels done in Shadow Chrome.. they are a similar shade to the vents / grill and look better than std silver, plus they shine better... Oh and as it's also close to brake dust colour too, they take longer to look bad  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

Process... Wheel refurbishers!

But most over here use the Mipa Vicrom over a black base coat, and then clear lacquer over the top

I know mine were over a black base coat

Pictures.. it's dark, cold and raining no surprises there it is the UK I'll post a picture tomorrow  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

I looked up that color and Plasti Dip has the same one. May have to get a can and do a trial wheel when it warms here. If I could go just two shades darker than stock that'd probably be enough for me.

Other thought was to mist in some single stage drk grey metallic with the airbrush and try to kind of antique them as well. Give them a little depth and maybe more subdued.

We've got ice and rain in the forecast whenever you have time. Thanks

Thanks for the pic.

That might be a little too much contrast against my Giverny Green. Ideadly a few shades lighter would be nice.

Bloody raining here

This is not a great photo of the wheels, but it is a photo! and they are dirty

Mine need refurbing soon and I'm also torn between OEM silver or anthracite to match the trim.

I photoshopped the grey version but I still can't make my mind up! what do you guys think?

mine are lighter than those others... from what I gather it's either more Vicrom or more lacquer that makes them lighter, and I know they dry lighter

And a great picture to display the pulling power of the FFRR........... :thumbsup:
