Fuch Refinishing opinion needed Color and Anodizing Options

[flyloki]

So I just painted the 74 Artic silver including valances and rockers, bumpers are satin black.

Fuchs look like crap and I took them to the anodizer to get redone. I'm trying to avoid having to polish them. So I had them strip, blast and clear anodize one to see how it looks.

Well its a nice satin uniform finish but it looks too much like primer grey. Ideally I want a semi-polished wheel(don't like the mirror chrome look) with anodize hard finish.

I have three choices-

1) Just do them all like that cause it still looks kinda silver. -Easy

2) Have the 'dizer strip them all, polish and reanodize to get more shine. Work and or spendy.

3) Have them done in a anthracite/gunmetal anodize. Easy but I'm not sure I'll like the look of the silver and gun metal together although it seems like a popular look today.

Anybody have gun metal color wheels here or care to throw in their 2 cents?

Thanks for all the replies and Pics that really helped, I think I'm going to go with an anthracite color. How hard is the powdercoat? The coater says they need to be cleared but I don't want that to fail and then have to re do in a few years. Can I expect the PC to hold up for a while?
