E63 Black on Black
um i switched them out with new rims like 2 weeks ago, but did several canyon runs with the painted rims several as in 10+ runs of hard driving for like 2 hours a time, no rock chips melting or anything. Great since Brake dust is also black so if oyu want to clean just rinse and your done

I'm getting the itch too. I've decided to keep my car for another yr at least so plasti dip is a gret economical way to change the look while saving up coin for the next ride I want to plasti dip my wheels also. Did you take your tires off? Was it difficult?

I love how you panted the lip on the front bumper. Adds so much to the stock bumper, but in a subtle way. What lip is that and who did you purchase from? Thanks!

What do you think? I think it might be just what I need to update in a subtle way, yet keep costs down. It addresses the main thing I don't like about the straight stock bumper and that is it doesn't look tall enough to me. By painting the lip it adds just a bit more height without really changing the overall look. What do you think?

I had my stock rims plastidipped for a while and I loved the aggressive look. Made the car look lower and the large sidewall/wheel gap less noticeable. I recently removed it and the car looks much classier, but I don't want to dish out $700 + $800 for a new set of wheels and quality tires.
I'll probably order some plastidip glossifier and see if glossy black would look better than matte black since my car is black and I don't really have any other matte stuff on my car.

has anyone ever tried to dip their wheels white? seems like they'd be stupid hard to clean......but there is a gloss finish spray? or just one for a satin finish?

Also in my opinion this car is close to perfect in my eyes. Needs a trunk lip and I would have kept the mercedes emblem on the grille
