What should I do? I've had friends that have said mat black and others white. Leaning towards the black though. I just hate the chrome wheels

After driving for a couple of weeks I finally removed the masking tape off the emblem on the center cap. Didnt come out perfect...but when i do the wheels over I think ill use a razor for a cleaner outline



This weekend its gonna be on!! as long as its not windy and rainy..hopefully my wheels come out better with this.

When you tape anything off, it's best to take the tape off while it's still wet, won't peel that way.

do a two tone setup like fonzie did in his metalizer videos on youtube.

Paint the entire wheel white first. Let it dry for a few hours at least or even a full day if you can, then what i would do is tape of the inner sections so you leave the face of the spokes exposed, then spray black. So you spokes are black and the insides are white, or vise versa.

Because I do some much coats on the center cap I really cant do that...cause you have to let the previous coat dry before doing the other...so its down to the steady hands and a razor to get the tape up in this case

thats one of the only bad things about plastdip, taping is such a pain in the ass you have to be quick, or get really good with a razor.
