Default Photoshop people - Can someone help anthracite my wheels please

Thinking about having a colour change to anthracite. Can someone show how it might look before I decide to go for it.

Cheers

I can get you a code tomorrow. But probably best you look at a colour chart and pick one you like. Having said that, colour charts confuse me even more so I generally leave it up to the painter to choose the colour he likes! lol

Right. Got a code and have just seen the colour on a set of VXR wheels and this would be my colour choice IF i decided to change.

: Suzuki Gris (grey) Anthracite 161

Its a motorbike colour funnily enough. I would have them painted in base coat with a matt finish laquer.

Cheers,
Dan

Callipers will have to go black I think.

I decided to chance it and wheels are being done on Monday.

If I hate it or it looks crap, I'll have to get them painted white again

Leave it as it is mate. Car looks spot on as it is. I think a tidy white car (as yours is) with white wheels looks great. Imo white wheels compliment most cars.
