224 refurb...what colour?

Post by Angelus666 » Sat Apr 01, 2017 12:22 pm

I have a ruby black MC and need to get my alloys refurbed (paint flaking) so wondered what colour to go for. They're currently the standard silver, but thinking of a change.....hyper silver, shadow chrome, anthracite, hyper black....not sure what colour would work best?

I did think of that...the colour does look kind of redy brown in the sunlight. Anyone seen any pics of gold 224's...?

Shadow Chrome first anthracite second. That's what I'm thinking if/when mine need refurbished but my car is silver/Grey.

I think those would be too dark for a black car - your's is silver/grey so a dark wheel works well.

So, the car is booked in on Wednesday for this....thinking of being brave and going a bronzey gold colour, will be interesting to see how they turn out!

I think this could look good against the colour of your car.

I've just booked mine in with Adams & Page but am playing it safe with standard silver powder coat. Mine are in good shape but a few little patches of paint/lacquer are missing and I want to get the cosmetics perfect again.
