plastidipped my wheels..thoughts?

Hello Fellas


I decided to try plastidip for the first time the other night. 6 coats took about 4 hrs to apply. I'm pretty happy with the results. thoughts??

The wheel surface looks clean. Looks a bit thick on the center caps.

I think you did a good job. This seems a like a good way to make a change that can be changed again later!

Looks great man! You may wanna use glossifier for a shiny look but if not, matte looks awesome. Take a look also at the anthrocite grey color from plasti dip. It's a true metallic gun metal. I used it on my old black C300 with a few coats of glossifier and these wheels look like they were professionally painted!! Got a ton of compliments.

You did a nice job, but I prefer stock. I dipped my stock wheels on my CLK, before I went to chrome and was not happy. Would seem I like brighter wheels on a black car ;-). But as long as your happy!! Enjoy
