All Done!!!!

 

That looks pretty darn good!

 

Could you explain how this is done?
Thanks,
Steve

 

Pretty easy.
Take off wheels, wash, let dry, taped up the air valve stems, I didn't tape the outer rim, shake can for a minute or two, do a very light coat, let dry for 15m, another light coat, let dry 15, then I did a thicker cost, dry 15, repeat till done. Let dry for an hour before putting them back on.

For more detailed instruction do a YouTube search for Plasti Dip wheels.
You can buy Plasti Dip at Lowes or Home Depot.

Thank you, stay thirsty my friend

 

how well would this last in the real world driving?

 

Why not just get the anthracites to begin with?

 

+1

 

Did you tint the windows yourself too?

 

The coolest thing about plastidip is that you can peel it off later if you want to and there is nothing compromised underneath - not to mention no prep work other cleaning is needed. In fact PD protects as well as changes the appearance. http://www.dipyourcar.com/

 

Nice, will have to try this on the headlight, backlight and door handle chrome trims

 

It doesn't. Why on earth take a $30,000 + car and cover it in cheap plastic.

 

lol. Actually it holds up quite well. Cheap plastic? It's a spray on finish that changes appearance and protects and can be taken back off later when your $30,000+ car is worth $20,000+. It's especially good for emblems that you want to black out.

 

But then most new car trim and "chrome" is cheap plastic anyway. And yes, at about 3 years time a new car is worth half what you paid. That's why they invented GAP insurance.
