Hi all,

Car going in for some rust treatment next week! Why its there i've asked them refurb the wheels.

Coupe is silver, i'm thinking anthracite maybe? - Would appreciate any pictures of this done (and paint codes if you have them!!)

Thanks
Lee

Hi Patrickstar,

Do you know the paint code of the first picture?

That looks anthracite - looks just what i was looking for. Did you have a picture of them fitted to a coupe?

Thanks
Lee

This is probably standard Limited Edition titanium colour - paint code Fiat 551

All the wheels are painted using Halfords rattle cans, I got brilliant results with them , as long as you spend plenty of time prepping them.
No picture of them on a car as I do them to sell on. A bit of a hobby.

If they are Halfords cans I reckon that is their Steel Wheels colour, some of mine are painted in that and I like it. Currently got a mix but did have satin black most of this year which went well with the red car and black roof I have. Over the winter I plan to get them all black again.

The first one is Anthracite colour, 2nd one is ford moon dust silver and the last one gloss black.
problem I found with the anthracite one is the shades varied from can to can (no batch codes either ) so used one can on each and one can to do a last coat on all 4 wheels,Top coat of lacquer, then I let's them dry for a couple of months then wet sand and polish.
