Default Orange plastidipped rims and mirrors.

Ok so before anyone jumps the gun, you should all
know that this was done completely out of the blue.
It was unplanned. I had a few extra cans laying
around from a previous work that I had no more need
for, and seeing how I will be getting some new rims
for this baby later this month, I said to myself
"screw it let me try it out and see how it will come
out" I also went a head and did the mirrors as well.

Well here are the results! Not too shabby in all honesty.
Got a few thumbs up and it does attract more looks.

Just wanted to share

Not a huge fan but the mirrors look.... off from the front.

Eh... It's not bad but I think red might have looked cooler. Good thing all you have to do is peel and its good as new.

For a very long time if they are done right. And I'm talking several months. You need to apply nearly 10 coats or more if you want it to last a very long time, specially the edges have to be done right because thats where the peeling starts.

It's not awful, but I think only Porsche can pull off this look 100%.

I think the front view would look a little nicer if you did the front emblem as well. To go with the mirror caps
