True Metallic plasti-dip fun! (pic heavy)
 
There hasn't been much pictures of true metallic plasti-dipped wheels on cars on the forum that I know of yet so I thought it would be a cool idea to share some of the things I did. :thumbup:


Anthracite

looks nice.. im doing my stock rim like that gray metallic.. only if the stocks didnt come two tone and just the dark gray metallic that would be nice.. can one can of clear pearlizer be enough for all rims? how many coats of it?

i used maybe a quarter of a pearlizer can on mines. it changes to silver from different angles but it got a little weaker. maybe because i havent properly cleaned my wheels in awhile. lol.

I love the new tail lights!

Drftfan 07-31-2013 09:09 AM

Nice. I am debating painting the centers on mine red

DarkSunrise 07-31-2013 09:52 AM

The final color looks amazing! Nicely done.

BlaineWasHere 07-31-2013 11:18 AM

Gold looks pro, the other color just looks black to me.
