Is it just straight black or did you get the plasti-dip clear to go over the black? Looks good. I cant wait to do mine.

Nice, I'm doing black and clear. Supposed to make it look glossy. Have the clear just waiting for the black to come in, hopefully tuesday it gets here then I dunno when I'll be able to get it done.

Is it plasti-dip clear? I heard regular clearcoat might mess it up but the plasti-dip clear is supposed to work fine and give it some gloss.
I'm doing mine temporarily until I can get the cash together to PC them gloss black.

Interesting... I'll probably plasti-dip my winter wheels but the only thing I was worried about was high pressure washes.

It's kinda a PITA cuz I have to put the car on blocks for a few days for them to get done, eventually I will but for now this was a 20$ fix and the texture is sick looking

Ya it was plasti clear, if you do it let me know how it turns out, you can spray over the plasti with normal paint also and it should come right off. So I might do gloss black over the plasti dip, who knows
