    When you guys use anthracite for wheel refurbs what do you usually go for??

    is there actually a spray can with anthracite or is it just a dark grey colour?

    i got a spray can of volvo dark grey in halfords earlier but just wanna make sure before i use it so i can change it

    thanks

    There is not the one shade of anthracite. What I did was find a car/sample of what I'm after and have the wheel re-furb people match it.

    there probably is a paint code for one called Anthracite but everyone calls their dark grey/off black paint Anthracite. As Anthracite is a type of coal then I bet any similar colour will do..

    ive had stuff powder coated in anthracite, and also bought other stuff anthracite and been different shades, some peoples are grey, some are dark grey nearly black, my wheels are supposed to be anthracite but arent very dark compared to others
