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.


Anthracite
still wet

dried and mounted. (yes i know i have no tread left!)


more low!



Vintage gold + pearlizer on top
unfortunately I deleted all pictures of the installation when it was wet

a day after installation


ignore the front lip missing, it got destroyed on the highway


i hope this draws more people to try them. its pretty amazing what plasti-dip can do these days..

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.
