FR-S with Black Wheels
I was bored and had some plastidip laying around so I decided to give my wheels a spray. It looks amazing in person and came out great. I only used a can and a half.

Looks great. I really love seeing that blue colour. I also love the look of the wheels now.

I can't wait for mine.

You are a much braver man that I to do that to a new FRS. Granted, it turned out well but if it hadn't or debris got in while wet, well...

WOW.. Did not know the OEM wheels could look this good!
Nicely done! Always wondered how they would look when painted dark.

about 1 & 1/2. they key was not over spraying them and just doing it in layers. I went 50% opacity on the first coat and just let it dry for a few minutes. Did another 2-3 layers and touch ups.
