Have just bought a sprint blue 8P S3, it's got the black edition front grille and I'd like to spray the wheels to match. Will also get the plastic grilles around the fog lights done, plus the lower grey plastic bit at the bottom of the front bumper, all to match.

Just wondering if there's a common paint code / shade that tends to be used that's a good match for the black already used on the black edition grilles?

the grille surround looks gloss so was just going to go for a basic gloss black...

looked at anthracite but doesn't look quite dark enough imho

Cheers
