I wanted to get some opinions on what color to plastidip my rims. My tc is silver and the rims are also. It's like the car and rims are the exact same silver. I have never really cared for that look in silver. So I was thinking either white , gold or gunmetal. I was leaning towards gunmeat but was wondering what you guys thought ? Any ideas ?

 

I would go with gunmetal

 

Anthracite
Preferably powder coat
Looks good on every color of balt

 

Have you ever thought about... Oh... You know... Not dipping them?

 

Yes.. But i really hate the stick silver these days. And powder coating or painting isnt an option right now.

 

Yeah i hear ya haha. Just messin. Gunmetal my vote

 

Or you could buy my anthracite powder coated rims.

 

Lol i doesnt make sense if he cant PC his wheels. why would he buy new wheels? I dont think he has the cash to do it so plasti dip is the best route to go

 

Gunmetal

 

 

 

I picked other

 

That looks so clean.

 

That looks sweet !! Im deffinitly going plastidip gunmetal with some glossifier over top of it to give it some shine.. Thanks burner for the pic !! Your car is basically the same color as mine.

 

Thanks bud!

Meant to add this one too.

These wheels came out a little darker than i was hoping, so a lot of the time they look more black. I'd recommend to go a shade lighter, but the flake and speckle does help out a lot.

 

Purple

 

Off topic. But which decals exactly us everyone buying off ebay for there brembos when you repaint them ? I do see lots of different brembo decals. But none that say they match the cobalts per say.

 

Signsomething has them and they are the exact spec of the originals

 

Thats the link Chevy Cobalt Stickers ? Sign Something

 

Thank you !

Also...does anyone have any tips how to get the best results from plastidip ? I have never tried it yet . Also , i imagine i need to clean my rims first. But what would you guys use to get them good and clean for the best looking results ??

 

Be warned...the gunmetal plasti dip looks like primer.

Go with their anthracite, and add a metalizer to it.

 

Ty for the tip. I take it thats the name of the color ? Anthractie? And then i would put some metlizer over top of it ? Would i also use any glosifier on it ?

 

Just clean them off good with soap and water and then they make a pre dip spray that you can use to make sure that there's no contaminants or anything left on the wheels

 

Perfect... Any idea how many cans it takes to do all 4 rims ?

 

Yup thats the name. I'd use both.
