Anthracite alloy problem

[lucky13]

I have a 182FF so it has the anthracite wheels. The alloys are in ok condition, 2 are slightly curbed from previous owners but the other 2 seem almost perfect. However the problem i have is in the colour of them. I am sure that the one alloy is not the same colours as the other 3.

This alloy has a slight dark blueish hue to it almost. The strange thing is that it only seems noticeable when washing but otherwise it doesnt look different / very hard to notice. If anyone has any ideas either a) why this has possibly happened? b) maybe im seeing things? and also possible fixes?

I would add a pic but im pretty sure it wont be noticeable off my phone but i am sure when washing it looks a different colour!???

Thanks for any input

Take it to a bodyshop and have them look at it.

Might have been refurbed poorly.

It's probably been refurbed at some point and they've not used the right colour.

Ok thanks for the advice, i shall get it checked over! Can any body shop rectify it or does it need to go to some sort of specialist one? I am just unaware of correct paint availability etc and seeing as it seems one has already been done wrong i dont want it to happen again...!

Get all four refurbed then they'll be mint and all match

yes thats a good plan, even so i want to make sure it is actually anthracite as i dont like the colour of the one at the moment! Any ideas on price? Can you just get it sprayed with no touch up the the actual alloy?

They will probably be powdercoated as it lasts longer than paint won't be touched up unless it needs it/you ask for it.
