Longitude Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b356/longusdinh/legalong/8e323047.jpg For a black car, I ideally want a darker color, but still not certain which way to go. Lemme know what yous think. BTW, I've done enough research re. powdercoating etc with BBS forged rims, so don't wanna hear anything re. it. Just choose a color in poll and/or move on folks, thanks for your participation. I'm doing this next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rommel Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 is anthracite close to dark grey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longitude Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 I wish I had pics to show the shop's demos. Yes anthracite is much darker than dark grey, it's also more metallic looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longitude Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 Here is example link of the shop's work: NASIOC - Got my wheels back from powdercoat STI BBS and NO, I'm not looking for that much bling. More so stealth with a personal touch perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bosco Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 hyperblack. they change color in different lighting. Rota Tarmac II. bosco Stay Stock Stay Happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longitude Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 Dunno if they can do hyperblack. I do like that though. Maybe polished black is close enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosco Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Dunno if they can do hyperblack. I do like that though. Maybe polished black is close enough mine look medium grey to light black depending on the angle and light if that makes any sense. pictures, at least with my camera, don't really show the contrast between the colors. if you have ever seen real black chrome they are similar to that. bosco Stay Stock Stay Happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gire Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Dunno if they can do hyperblack. I do like that though. Maybe polished black is close enough Never heard of polished black before... sounds like a oxymoron to me... but if you mean 'black chrome' then I'm all for that. BTW, black chrome is really close to Rota's 'hyperblack' expression if memory serves. Damn 1 million vendors out there making up terms for the same finish!!

Longitude Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 Nah, not interested in bronze. It's too common with black, and to me is more 'tuner'ish look than I prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
