Title: Quick question on wheel colour
Post by: craigy123 on September 05, 2013, 08:20:21 pm

I've gt a candy white 08 edition 30 that I'm putting up for sale. At the start of the year I had the wheels painted an Aston Martin dark anthracite. They have since got some pretty nasty chips from stones (paint seemed soft) so will be getting them powdercoated next week. Question is.... Keep them dark or return to as close to standard as I can?

If your going to sell the car then return the colour to standard, well as close as possible. :happy2:

But that Anthracite does look good though!

A quick thought; hang fire and give the buyer the choice.
If you are getting it done anyway, you could let them choose.
Obviously a hefty deposit required if they want silly colours!
