Thumbs up Plasti-Dip

So there was a big meet in southeast Louisiana called the Lake Front Meet. Happens once a year. Didn't have time to get new rims or have them refinished so I plastidipped them. Didn't turn out too bad, but I plan on having them re-finished dark bronze with a piano black lip. OEM CL65 rims. That and some lowering links will be very soon.

The CL65 rims cannot be improved upon. No color compliments them like the Gunmetal color they came from the factory. I don't think you should've Plasti-Dipped them, luckily it comes off easy. If you like it tho, keep it, you're the one who needs to be happy. You did a good job at least. Nice 65

I respectfully disagree. I like bronze. However, when I bought the car someone had already refinished them in a very dark grey (almost black) and they were flaking off. That combined with some curb rash caused me to plasti-dip them. Like you said, I can take it off without a problem.
