Question Where to buy decent Anthracite wheel paint?

I'm currently refurbing my wheels. I'm stripping, rubbing down, smoothing, primering, painting and then lacquering but not sure what paint to use. Will use a spray gun if I can get hold of one but this is another option.

I've found this anthracite wheel paint on Halfrauds but not sure:

Ideas ppl?

Cheers.

I used fords graphite grey spray paint from halfords mate, that's quite a nice anthracite colour. Check my progress threads for pictures of the colour

You can get them done at a sprayers for a good price, especially if you know someone. That way you get a pro job that will last.

Yh if I got it done professionally I know it wud look good but hoping to keep it cheap. My mate just rubbed his down and sprayed them and they look great but I'm gonna still take it back to the metal and do it properly.

(and wadoryu, saying it's shit don't rele help if u don't give an alternative lol)
