I'm thinking of doing black "Brembo" logos instead of AMG.



Thank you very much! I ran into a matte black e60 M5 today. I bet he liked my wheels


My CF Lip just came an hour ago. Going to put it on friday..

Loud exhaust and yellow calipers on the M5??

Good thing I'm single .. Plasti dip is like spray paint except its awesome, can be taken off etc. Basically a layer of plastic instead of paint, looks matte black.

Nice thread resurrection, car looks more blk/white now.

No problem, going back to school I presume? Where do you go?

Of course, very simple. After cracking a set of 20s I was done and couldn't roll on silver stockers. I dig the look and love not having to worry about dodging potholes.

just point n shoot at whatever .. these are them emblems you sold me in the same paint... sorry not tryin jack the thread



BTW OP ..
I see you said 1 can one wheel .. How many coats did you go over ? Im guessing lights coats at first and then just hittin it till the can ran out ? I wanna hit my brand new 20's but im worried the machined face wont adhere the plastidip same way the painted clearcoated part of wheels will .And i heard its a ***** to take off if you want to reverse the process .. Only thing keepin me from doing this too lol
