Nelly 104 1 Vehicles Report post Posted December 21, 2018 Much to my annoyance I have kerbed one of the rear wheels on my Evora. Its a 2010 car with the forged alloys finished in Anthracite. I have been to Th e Wheel Specialist in Fareham (who I have heard good things about), but their standard Anthracite/Charcoal colour is quite a bit different. They have asked me for a colour reference if possible. So..does anyone know what the actual colour these wheels were painted, I am worried about a getting a good match. If anyone has any experience of repair to these colour wheels I would also be interested to hear, along with any other local to me (South Hampshire) recommendations for repairers.

Nelly 104 1 Vehicles Report post Posted December 21, 2018 Yeah that would be the one! Thanks Bibs. I can't believe they even went to the same place as me. I did a search but didn't find this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JAWS 352 Report post Posted December 21, 2018 Be aware the Stealth Grey of the Cast Wheel is different to the Anthracite of the Forged Wheel. You may struggle to get a decent match, so it might be wise to do both front and rear at the same time. Also, it might be prudent to verify if the finish is original in the first place.

Ledlights 34 Report post Posted December 21, 2018 I contacted Rimstock and they couldn’t give me a code for my LE forged wheels. They said that the finished colour was the result of a number of layers that have been heat treated and couldn’t give a specific code. I think you’d have to get a colour specially made to match.

Nelly 104 1 Vehicles Report post Posted December 22, 2018 Thanks, and that's what is bugging me and probably the main reason I am so annoyed I kerbed it. I was told yesterday they would prefer to do both wheels on one side to avoid any off colour between front and back. Will see how it goes. Other option is to do them all gloss black (it really will be like a sports racer then!). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Techyd 39 1 Vehicles Report post Posted December 22, 2018 If you go gloss black, be interested to know price / quality as I’ve been thinking about that for mine (currently stealth grey cast alloys). I’m also very close to Fareham so interested in service / standard of work as well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
