^^^^ i was thinking about spraying the turnies white.... wat colour is anthracite?????

 

[Scott]

^^^^ i was thinking about spraying the turnies white.... wat colour is anthracite?????

basically a dark grey, also called gunmetal. they all vary in lightness but are more or less the same colour.
i wouldn't do them whiet personally, i think they look great as they are

 

[Ian_182]

White is another option but they can get messy.Its a different technique and theres not as much laquer involved iirc.Can discolour over time

ian

 

[clio head]

...ill probs just leave em the same colour... Few mates have come over to have a look... they are like WTF is with them wheels.. i say u either love em or hate em... i think they look fantasic!! Thinkin shall i put my Oz Turismos on and see wat they look like.....wat do u lot think??
