Looks great duff! The blue from the curb is throwing off the color a bit, but it look like it turned out real smooth and exactly what you wanted. I anticipated a little more gloss however--

Now you need to get your hands on some wheel spacers and maybe some springs!

Thanks Nick, it probably isn't helping that it is a dreary, rainy day....no sunshine to make it sparkle

LOL- Did you wash the wheels before you sprayed them?

Sometimes if you wash them, water gets into the lug holes and then gets trapped under the dip.

I always have to wipe the wheels off with a towel first and make sure they are 100% dry.

Looks like there was some cleaning solution or water that got trapped under.

A way to fix this is get a small needle or thumbtack & pop the hole. Then do a respray over that spot. Pretty easy!

Nice Vid. I did mine this past weekend and am really pleased with the look. I'll be doing my wheels in a few weeks. I really like the blacked out emblems, but now my wheels are screaming to be matched.

Oh yes probably it wasn't dry enough :/ but luckily it was only one wheel and I will try to do that quick fix..hopefully it won't look weird and still match the rest of the wheel. I love the new look thou

I went to the track and ran many sessions and the plasti dip didn't come off the rims. I was surprised. I just saw on their web page that plasti dip is proven to hold up to 310 Farenheith or something like that. Anyways if someone is wondering. It will hold up at the track.
