That looks good, I would like my Senta's in a darker shade too. Did you use an aerosol can or with compressor?
Mmmm, Maybe a winter project! :-)
Peter once the clear coat goes on it really darkens them up .
I used the dupicolor hyper Silver kit and purchased additional can of primer.
The cans are far more difficult than using the gun / compressor as you need to keep them more or less vertical the entire time otherwise they lose pressure and splutter.
One wheel completed i'd say the kit will only just cover two wheels.

Yes, several months ago I tried doing this on one XK wheel, holding the spray can horizontal - and was not happy with the results so I paid to have the four wheels refinished a dark grey metallic color.

Definitely so much easier with the compressor I thought it could be a weekend project for me

You forgot one bolt!:-)
I would like mine in a darker tone. I think I will plasti dip one wheel in Gun metall grey/antracit grey and see how it looks. Don't want to spray one wheel and not be happy with it. :-)

I like the color, is that plasti dip or real paint? :-)
Plasti-dip that I put on 9 months ago and have shown no signs of wear... I used plasti-dip to see how I was going to like the color with the intention of painting or powder coating the wheels if I liked it, and to be honest the plasti-dip looked so good and has held up so well, I just haven't worried about painting/coating them yet. I will eventually, but I'm in no hurry at this point...
