Damn... they are anodized? Part of the dimensions (thickness) of the anodzie plating are in the metal itself. I would suggest to have them chemically stripped first and then possibly Powder coated. Flat black or Satin black may be a close color

They're a dirty black .... basically a charcoal color.

Go to a powdercoating shop and see what they have in matte wrought-iron finishes.

they do seem a little green...although paint is weird. what is green in one light may be yellow or blue in another. find something that is flat black in the same lighting and figure out how far off the wheel color is from it.

You could also do them in:

Anthracite Green (Almighty Gray)
Gloss White
Full Polish
Matte Silver

The actual colors of the non-spoon Desmond Regamaster EVO's.
