Nice. I'd cover the lug seats too. You might've done it, but not shown.
I'll probably plasti-dip my winter wheels, if I don't really feel the gloss-black finish they'll have after the repaint. Plasti-dip can be easily painted over (and can be ordered in different colors as well), and comes off just as regular plastidip. Few things - I'd apply 5-6 layers. Otherwise it might get difficult to pull off, if the wheels were on the car for 12+ months. Also - stay away from car-washes with brushes. |
