How Do I Match the Paint on my AM Deep Dish Bullitts?

I just bought a pair of Anthracite Deep Dish Bullitts from American Muscle to go on the back of my car. I have another unknown brand of charcoal Bullitts on the front of the car. I want them to all be the same color, so I need to either paint the brand new AM Bullitts charcoal (not my first choice!), or paint the unknown Bullitts Anthracite.

AM said they have no way to help me match the color, other than to call the Ford dealer. I know the AM wheels are way lighter than the Ford Bullitts, and you can see it clearly by looking at them on the Web. Today I went to the auto parts store and could not find a good Duplicolor matching paint.

Before I look for a charcoal matching paint (good luck with that, huh?), does anyone have any idea how to match the Anthracite paint? I just want a rattle can, not a professional body shop $75 can of paint that will have to be professionally sprayed.

Thanks,

BB

Yes its very hard for us to Match fords original color. Mainly because all manufactures use different materials and powder coat when designing their wheels. We do our best to get close however it's not exact.

You can either rattle can the wheels, get them powder coated or purchase the matching fronts. Which ever of these options works for you!

I hope this helps. Let me know if I can be of any assistance.
