Looks nice. I wondered how that would look... looks almost blue, or graphite in color.

My wheels are currently black, I wonder if I can just get some silver metallizer and spray right over them...

Yeah, I had black for about a month before I painted over them. I even washed the wheels to make sure they were clean.

Plastidip is the ****!

Agreed. I'm thinking about doing the whole car in white next summer. Might leave the hood and the roof black though.

The wheel on my car is gunmetal, you can tell by the edge, and the wheel off my car next to it is black. The paint is still wet, but you can see that it's not the same color.

I think today, I'm gonna wipe the wheel down add a coat of black and start adding more silver metalizer to see what happens.

Gunmetal plastidip? I've been torn apart on here for saying I want to use it. Everyone insists that it is just a primer color but you sir are proof it looks amazing...thank you sir

How many cans would you need to dip your entire car?

So for the wheels they suggest one gallon or four cans. For the car they suggest 3 gallons, so if one gallon is also 4 cans, then 12 cans should be fine. It could be a PITA spraying the whole car with cans though..

I think it'd be silly to do a whole car with spray cans. The dipyourcar.com kit is a way better option. It's a bit more pricey but it turns out much much better

On a side note.. I'm going teal on my wheels this summer. CAN'T WAIT!!
