Title: Shade of Grey
Post by: nathangallo on December 24, 2012, 11:42:09 am

Dont all get to excited now :signLOL:

Im going to get my monzas refurbed hopefully next month, would love the go original, but with our crappy weather it just wont last,

So i want to get them powdercoated one colour.

I have a steel grey and want the alloys to be a darker grey/light black just dont know what shade it is. Ideally i want a darker shade than anthracite, there are a set of scirocco alloys for sale on here in charcoal grey is this the shade i want?

I dont want the alloys to be to light and be the same colour of the car and on the other hand i dont want them 'black' and loose the detail in the alloys.

If anyone could get it would be great.

On second thoughts, I don't think it'll help at all  :innocent:
