Okay. Let me start by saying that I have spent A LOT of time trying to find the answer to my question but I am not getting very far. I have made the decision to paint my wheels and the I want to go with a hyper black finish. For those of you who don't know what hyper black looks like, this is it.



You can get a better idea if you google hyper black.

But heres the problem. The paint store I am going to needs a paint code to mix the paint up for me. I cannot seem to find one. The best luck I have had was to look at his book of a million colors and eye ball it. It seems like all wheels with hyper black finishes have been powder coated and don't have a specific code.

So for all you paint experts out there, can any of you provide me with a code to get the finish I am looking for?

Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

 

Hyper black is just the name that the wheel company uses for a that specific finish. Each company, assuming they use different manufacturing facilities, could potentially have different versions of "hyper black". I would see if they're willing to mix a small sample of paint that comes close to what you're looking for.

 

Why not powder coat? Heck of a lot more durable than paint.

Forgot to mention that as well. Powder coating is very durable and I'm sure there is a powder coat finish similar to those posted above.

 

You realize that these finishes have a black base coat right?

 

Im doing this myself. I have no idea what powder coating is. I bet it is extremely complicated

 

How do you know that?

 

Powder coating is actually a fairly simple process. Different than paint of course, but it is very nice for a set of wheels since it's durable.
