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 ?

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

QuickSilver_SS

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

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.

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.

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.

QuickSilver_SS

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 ?
