I've tried plasti dip on my DRL cover and my grill both turned out very nice, till I saw it in the morning and the grill wasn't good as I thought it would be, my hand isn't balanced for bigger parts to plasti dip. In my opinion, go for it if you are good with the spray and try it out because with white, black would look amazing. If you didn't like it you can easily remove it!

Those rims were coated with gun metal grey.

I am glad you like it.
I know this look is not for everyone.
Some do like it, some don't.

LOL.

I hate to clean the rims weekly, so this is good.
Actually, after I had the front brakes serviced (pads & rotors), the brake dust is very minimum, just as much as the rear brakes.

I just plasti-dipped my wheels on the Fiat500, turned ok good but not (perfect). I still don't know the technique well but for now this will do!

@Gotti78 Can you post a pic of your glk from the back? I was thinking about wrapping my roof gloss black but don't know how it looks for the whole roof. Thanks!
