Me likey. Can't wait til my white gets here. How many coats did you do? What did you do to clean the wheels beforehand? Did you have the tires mounted when you painted the wheels?

I've had mine dipped for over two months. Still look the same as the day I sprayed them. Power washed numerous times without any problems.

I used three coats of black and two coats of gloss. Sprayed off the car with tires mounted.

I used 3 coats. I removed the wheels from the car and just placed index cards between the rim and tire. I cleaned each rim with a light soap and water. Thanks!

They do actually. Check out dipyourcar.com its actually a spray you have to use after spraying the wheels with the original black

Here a link to what I mean. I was planning to do this on my wheels for any rim that didn't come in bronze since I love that colour combo on cars

Am I the only one who actually LIKES the design of the stock wheels? I think they look cool... Flat black? They look even better.

We've dipped entire cars. Here's a BRZ, it obviously wasn't finished.
