Title: Wheel Refurb - Which Grey?
Post by: rdfcpete on August 08, 2010, 06:16:54 pm

These are my wheels and exactly how I want them to look (colour wise), so with a refurb on the cards I need to know how to describe this shade of Grey to, or acquire a paint code for someone like A1 wheels.

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fv394%2Frdfcpete%2FIMG_0208.jpg&hash=b4fdb8b5db1c181fc50dc473d14c2507a8b5980a)

How would you describe this colour - Steel Grey? Gunmetal Grey? Soft Charcoal? I think they're too light to say a mild anthracite.
If anyone has a paint code and can show me the colour of the wheels they've had them done in, that would be ideal - cheers  :smiley:

Thanks all
- Pete.

Looks like steel grey to me.

Couldnt you just ask them to match the colour already there???
