I apologize for the absence in the thread I created but I've been busy working on it. I will try to get some better pics up tomorrow, or the next day but here are two pictures. Overall I'm pretty happy with it. I just wish I would have used a different paint on the emblems. Oh well, I can dip that little circle part again and do it different. Ahhh, the beauty of plastidip.

I think the stock wheels look cleaner.

Thanks for the kind words.
I like the stock wheels & this way equally to be honest. I figure I'll keep them like this for a while, until the PD gets messy, then go back to stock, but still keep the red outline on the bowtie. Maybe even a black outline. I like it much better than gold

Looks like a good application. I am curious, what was the product you bought, cost from product and gloss or other needed items-difficulty of processes? I have to say I was a bit concerned when I seen the wheels with no gloss. But with the gloss I really like them. Also do you think it is possible to add more coats of gloss(I have no idea what it is by the way) to get a higher deeper more smoothed finish.

Its called Glossifier by Plastidip. I'm not sure of the ingredients but it is basically just a clear Plastidip. I put on about 3 thick coats. I found the trick to putting the Glossifier on is to put it on as thick as you can without getting drips. I was spraying it like 5" away so it went on thick and shiny. I just wish the Anthracite was a little lighter. Its a bit too dark for my tastes, but I'm going to see how long it lasts before it starts looking like crap. Then, who knows.
