ok debating gettin my alloyas sprayed anthrecite but i dont know what method to go for if i do it. opinions, paint, powdercoat , spray can (diy), leave as they are??
Going for this colour to mate gonna get mine powder coated! Let me know where abouts you get it done as im on the lookout for a good place that will refurb and powder coat mine
I sprayed my mk3 Cupra wheels with a rattle can - they came out well and it lasted me about a year until the brake stoor started to stick (then I just did them again). They looked pretty good (IMHO) I'll post a picture later when I can access my flickR. Only cost about £20 in rattle cans from halfords and a few hours of my time.
I can also vouch for Carrick Engineering - They repaired one of my alloys when it got mashed in a pothole. You couldn't tell it had been damaged afterwards.
Done with a couple rattle of cans in a weekend... worth it as a first attempt. If you hate the colour or anything then you could get them powdercoated later?
There are loads and loads of shades of anthrecite mate. But when I got mine done they guy said "what colour do you want them" so I pointed to some wheels on display and said "I want that one"
just called 2 places.
kilmarnock powdercaoting servces=£161 without tyres (sound like pricks tbh)
carrick engineering = £140 without tyres =£150 with tyres (decent guy and seen his work)
that is really cheap, paid more than that for mine, I did the same as Damo saw lots of examples and chose from someone else's wheels best way to see how they look.
not easy I was in the same boast, I looked at lots of people with the same wheels as me in different colours with a black car like me. I then did some photoshops and was 99% sure when I went then chose the shade in their workshop.
