Got my wheels done today! I'm really pleased with the smoked chrome, it looks great! It's a strange look because it changes colour and appearance according to the angle you view it at and the way the light shines on it. This makes it hard to get an accurate photo, but here are some anyway:

Those look very nice indeed! Much darker than my version of 'Smoked Chrome' done by A1 Wolverhampton.

Thanks, I'm well chuffed! They are darker than all the other ones I've seen here, but I think they go nicely with a black car.

....Probably best to go to a specialist to powdercoat rather than just paint spray.

Looks nice. See what you mean about them looking different in different light/views.

Really suit the car.

It's a blend of colours really that they use to achieve that effect. I would think any professional wheel refurber should be able to do this. However, the way they mix the colours will be down to the individuals interpretation of how it should be. It might look different depending on who does it. You should be able able to request how light or dark you want it though and they can tailor it to your preference. They might even spray up a sample wheel for you, like they did for me. It's probably nowhere near you, but I got it done at Silver Wheels in Ferndown.

I think I've mentioned this before?…... I've also toyed with the idea of painting my Monza's.  

I'd go for the Brightest Lightest Silver available (almost white)  :happy2:

Im only saying this because sometimes in certain light my Monza's would almost look like a painted finish  :smiley:





monte where did you get these done?  So this is what you'd call bright silver?
