Yes, definitely. I sprayed the wheels down with water, then dried them. After the water dried I used (below) to clean the wheel really well. Just a tip**spray the solution on your microfiber towel then clean the wheel; it will help to make sure the wheel isn't excessively damp.

That looks amazing. I always imagined a black base would make it more darker. So is it 3 coats of black as the base then 3 coats of gold metalizer and on top of that 2 coats of copper matalizer? Do u have more pics of those wheels

1 coat down. 2 more to go.

They're in motion and very lightly covered in brake dust, but it still gives you a pretty good idea. The metalizer reacts very harshly to sunlight so it shines very bright.

In this pic, the front wheel is gold metalizer only, before putting the 2 coats of copper. The one in the back is finished.

I'll be plasti dipping my wheels pretty soon.
Probably black to match my smoked tails, but I'll eventually do a matte bronze.

Right now I have my emblems plasti dipped black and my dad's Jeep's grill. Thinking about doing my roof and possibly mirrors in the future.

One guy did the orange plasti dip and I loved it. Red might be cool. White definitely would look good.
