satin+black=

EDIT: IMO anthracite will look like a poor attempt at colour matching the bodywork.

with a big thanks to my friendly powdercoater we decided on a colour and a finish that I am really pleased with satin black just made the tyres look too brown/grey and didnt give the wheels a defined, deep look. at the same time I didnt want anthracite as its too common and would look to similar to the car colour so we did them in a black and grey mix which gives an almost black finish but not too black and went with a matt topcoat with a fine texture. what do you think?

pics arent great as I cant move the car at the moment to a better location
