Powercoating color question for Sport Package Rays

The 40th wheels have a lot of pearl in them I'd bet so they look very different depending on the light... the LFA wheels are def a few shades darker. Here are mine when they were freshly cleaned...

I like the car & the wheels. The wheels seem to have a gloss/polish look to them, but still very sharp.

The thing I learned about Powdercoating Hyper-black...they said they would actually start off with Black and then the more silver you add the lighter it'd become.

So I'm gonna try to do one hint darker than the 40th Anniversary Color (which I recalled someone from a powdercoating shop called it Hyper Black) Hyper Silver is what the stock OEM Rays are called.

I'll let you know how it goes. By the way, the note with "darker than display" was a G35 Rays rim I saw at Wheel Technique, I'll try to post it when I get a chance so you guys know how it looks under the sun and I'm going to be one shade darker than it.
