Hi all. Need your help. Got my Arachnid Wheels in Silver and I would like to powder coat them with the original grey colorcode:
Sonic Carbon, Code: NEU-106E - PPG: 934723.
is this even possible? all powdercoader tell me that they do not know this color code and if powdercoated the codes are different.....
so has anybody else tried to powdercoat their wheels with the tesla original grey and can you share your experiences with me please?
appreciate your help.

I tried, but the powder coat company I used took three tries, couldn't get them close, and wound up going back to the original silver, but couldn't get that back proper either. So now I have these kind of matte gray-ish/silver-ish color winter 19" rims. I don't mind actually as it's not a bad color overall, and they didn't charge me as they couldn't match the colors in the first place, so I got something out of it.
Yea, gray is hard to match.

They're back ... Tesla brings back ventilated seats and makes new black Arachnid wheels available
Tesla updated its online design studios overnight to make some changes to its performance vehicles. The automaker is bringing back the previously discontinued ventilated seats and it is making new black Arachnid wheels available from the ordering process. Arachnid wheels are 21″ wheels designed by Tesla for the Model S. They were only available to Tesla owners through the referral program. After referring a number of new Model S and Model X buyers, Tesla would give you a new set of wheels with tires.
The automaker is now making black Arachnid wheels – pictured above – available to buy from the design studio, but only for the Model S P100D – the performance version of Tesla’s flagship sedan. It’s now a $4,500 option that can be added to the $135,000 performance vehicle.

yes why not?
Sorry, just wasn't sure that you wanted to see the ones that were messed up. But here ya go. They are dirty and it's flat light so not the best pic really, but you can see they are just a kind of matted flat silver or light gray color now. You can see the subtle difference between the OEM center cap and the rim. I'll get a closer pic of that at some point.

Finally got my rims powder coated. It’s not the original tesla grey but just ordered gunmetal in a gloss finish. Think they turned out fantastic. Also have a cool shot of before and after on the car at the same time with the original stock 19’s.
Powdercoated mine now..... very happy with the quality of the work and also with the shinyness of the powdercoated wheels....but I am not satisfied with the too light color they used. I would have wished them a little darker...but well....it's now done and there is no return. Hopefully I will get used to it.
What do you guys think?

Great shot of my car and Arachnids taken at a music video shoot that included 12 Teslas total.

I’m torn between this look and the gun metal look! The silvers really new pack a punch whereas the gun metal grey would be more subtle...but classier?

Stick with silver on that red! Looks clean and crisp.View attachment 319015 View attachment 319016 View attachment 319017 View attachment 319014 MC Red 100D, painted calipers, 15% tint and silver arachnids
Agreed. Was planning to powdercoat my upcoming red Model 3 sport wheels gray or black, but after seeing this beautiful red S with silver wheels, having second thoughts. Leaning towards keeping the wheels silver. Looks really sharp with the MC red exterior.
