Thanks Andy!

Adam, I bought my car used in the US in the summer of 2009 and shipped it to Dubai in the fall. It has been there since. I HATE those reflectors btw!!!

JP, thanks for that. The mercury grey do look superb on yours, much better than ball polished IMO. Is it a flat finish to whe wheels?

No Woody it's clear coated, so looks glossy as opposed to matte. I think matte would look out of place on this car.

Sorry JP, I meant as in there is no metalic flake in the paint.

 

[jpmondalek]

Thanks for clarifying. It is "flat" and does not have a metallic finish to it.

OK, great. Thanks.

Just had mine refurbed and repainted in mercury grey.....look superb, not too dark either.

Just to add to this thread...had my 4200 wheels done last week......from standard silver to Mercury grey with the inside finished in black gloss to add a bit of depth......

Frank, love them...Doesn't the black on the inside make a huge difference...

 

[Parisien]

The top one was taken on a typically cloudy day, the 2nd in bright sunlight today, so not quite an honest impression....!!

Andy, am not an expert by any means, took Marios's advice, he had a sample wheel in his office.....just thought they looked nice, they needed done anyways......so had to fork out something!

Looking smart P. Are you going to do anything with your calipers colour-wise?

Mine are black on the inner rims also. Don't know why this should make a difference and suspect it's more to do with getting an even finish from just the outer side of the wheel when being sprayed. The inner rims do get 'tarnished' (not the right word but it'll do) from hot brake dust that's spat out on to them. Perhaps it's easier to clean this from a solid sealed colour, or less evident if you can't remove it all?
