Hey guys
I'm looking to get my enkies painted darker and like this colour

Can anyone tell me what paint I should ask the panel beater to use for this colour/finish?
Cheers
James

Gunmetal or charcoal?

I wouldnt know that exactly paint code for that specific wheel colour, but one of our forum gurus may know (cruisn)

Another colour to consider - a few of us have painted our rims in onyx metallic (paint code 36Y).... not as grey-metallic as the one you posted up.... i do find it changes intensity in different light settings

hmmm that looks good too..

thanks guys

That picture you have is of a WRX off Rexnet, I can't remember his user name but if I remember correctly his Member Profile stated the colour of the wheels.

Agreed with the colour changing in different light. Mine are freshly painted and can look anything from a really rich blue/purple to obsidian black!
Loving them though

I just had a set done for someone in Lexus "IG3".

Pretty nice also.....



I'll be painting my RAYS centres in this.

I think that will be better.
Detail always gets lost in black rims.

Correction, the color is Toyota 1G3 - Magnetic Grey Metallic.

How does it compare to 36Y? Still deciding on what to do my Ultraleggeras

Its not as dark. I actually just painted one of my RAYS centres........phone pics dont really show a true representation.

hmm now Im not sure.. does anyone have a 36Y on an obsidian black liberty? so I can see the two together

The top example I posted on the WRX looks bronzey-charcoal, where as the examples below look bluey-charcol? - Im not sure if thats just the light in the photo?

I prefer the bronzey version, which would you recommend?

cheers

Yep there's definitely a tinge of blue in the 36y

If you are leaning towards the bronzey version, you should go with what you'd be comfortable with

Besides, you can always repaint it down the track when u feel like a change!

Is that similar to Toyota graphite? I'm leaning toward this with a matte finish - has anyone done a matte finish?
