titan alloy wheels-what paint colour?

**pv544t5** · Sunday 23rd January 2011, 15:58

Hi.Just got some titans and want to repaint them.I think they have been already painted at some point.It looks like they are originally painted black all over (looks original volvo finish to me) then blown over with the anthrasite colour on the outside faces.I have access to blasting and powdercoating facilities and I can easily get them redone black (got black paint in stock!).I can then get the faces sprayed.
Question is:-Is this the correct finish i.e anthracite fading into black towards the rear of the rim and what is the anthracite paint code ?

If it was me I'd have them done Satin black. I think the original colour is pretty close to anthracite.

Original colour was Anthracite, fraid I couldn't tell you what colour the backs where as mine had been repainted prior to me buying the car.

Volvo 932

Mine (the red car) have been repainted silver-alloy colour (I prefer anthracite - but this is how they came from a refurbisher). You will see the middle picture I have Volans - these are in proper, original anthracite.
Jerry's Olive Shed (bottom) has anthracite Titans in original colour.

Don't go too fancy. Anthracite really does suit the classy executive look of the 850 - anything zany just looks naff.

As far as I can recall, Titans should be the same colour all over.

Mind you, I used to have a white Hillman Imp with yellow 4-spoke Revolutions - looked like a pair of flying fried eggs.

I think it is one of many shi'ite features on the Olive Shed when Jerry got the old b@gger - Jerry will no doubt contribute on this one!

I have no idea mate! A bad one who will no doubt meet a suitably sticky end for being such a knob

They're not there now though

Plus the Titans are now satin blackish which was the only half decent colour I could find over here for a home refurb

I'll get em done in 932 at some point, maybe...

Sighs...a never ending list of shi'ite features and things going wrong; I could probably have bought half a dozen T5s with the cash that's been ploughed into the Shed and built one decent one
