    Maybe OCC black chrome, but it may be a little light for them...

        I could be wrong but I think wiseguyz shot a color similar to that.

          Rosey's has Gun Metal Powder I bought the last she had last year but looks like she has it back again. Very nice color. And looks like your picture as best as a computer will show it so its a guess I guess I would have to shoot you a panel for you to see for real for a small charge of $500000 but need an address so shoot me a PM and I will shoot one and mail it out.

            EW Black Chrome or PBTP Black Chrome II or Solar Rain will give you a finish very similar. Each has slightly different coloration, but all look nice...shot over REAL CHROME. Over anything else, it won't look like that.

            Best of luck.

              I showed customer the PBTP catalog and he just texted me if I had a sample of the bonded black chrome! Do you know how accurate those sample parts are under the product description? Also, does it need a basecoat?

                Thanks for the pictures Jeff. I'm not sure if that will be dark enough for him. I'll forward them to him and see what he says.

                I wonder if what he's looking for is more of a flat black with some sort of clear on it...

                    This may or may not be a good idea, and may be a lot of work. Maybe use the solar rain(chrome base) and a matte clear?

                        ^^^ that looks the most promising so far... Thanks Shelly. I'll go ahead and order some this week as soon as I get the go ahead from him.

                          Sorry, those pics look too dark.
                          Jeff, did it look any different before the clear?

                            I'll have to add it to the request list for panels. Just trying to work with a tight deadline...

                              Just no way to pick a color like that from a computer. The color I suggested might be what he wants and may not and if you would have given an OK on it and would like to see it I could have shot one and it would have been in the mail in the morning but now it would be Thursday before it could be sent out.

                              Looking at your picture of the wheel and of course with a computer it looks like a good match?

                              Good Luck
