Turned out awesome! I think gunmetal or something a touch darker would look great on the wheels.
Can't exactly tell from the pics, but it looks like your fog lights are still covered in dip. Just a heads up haha

Those who have plasti dipped their interior trim. How difficult/time consuming was it? I've never dipped anything before so this will be my first attempt. Just looking for some tips

I just did it for the second time today. Its really easy. Do two very light dusting coats and the 1 medium coat and lay the last one on thick and it will give you a smooth finish. Dont go crazy tho cause you will get runs

Do you need any sort of clear coat or anything over it? Or is it possible to get the kinda glossy look?

No it will be a matte finish unless you clear it. You can use regular clear but keep in mind that its gonna be a bitch peel it back off again. You can buy the actual glossifer tho and it will still peel off with ease when u want a new color

If you take 1 or 2 coats of glossifier over the top you will have a glossy finish, just not glossy like a real paint.

But with dip, that's the whole point to make it look different than real paint... at least in my opinion... Why spend all that time and money to make it look like factory finish?

Here's the car after the wheels are finished and on...



Finished wheel color...



And when the car is wet in the rain, dip totally changes color from pink/purple to deep orange/red...

Really good stuff dude! Those wheels turned out much better than I expected. Glad you went with something a little darker.

Like rice said, it's super easy to peel if you do a good job spraying it in the first place.
Spraying isn't too hard either. 4 even coats of pretty much any color should peel just fine.

Yeah I found some in black and sprayed a few small things, no complaints. Easy enough to spray on and peeling off isn't hard at all.

And instead of peeling off, you can just spray the next color over the previous one. I peeled the gray before this color, but next time I'm spraying right over this one... That won't be for a while though...

Here's a super crappy one for the time being. It pains me to post a gross pic like this but I want to share haha

Obviously cell phone pic won't do the color justice, but you get the idea.
