Default Gunmetal gray wheels or photoshop request

Tired of fighting the Hawk HPS brake dust, so thought I would plasti dip my stock wheels gray (I like black, but in Houston, black wheels are everywhere). Thoughts or opinions on color choices?

Does anyone have any pictures of gunmetal plastidip wheels on trucks?

Here is an idea of what my truck may look like (though mine is forest green and those wheels are black, so really the only thing in common is that they're both tahoes )

Here's some stockers I dipped with gunmetal grey , but they were a bit too light so I bought rust oleum metallic grey paint and sprayed over the Plastidip . I like it , and like you said lots of black wheels out there so the grey is nice and refreshing . These are my winter wheels .

Oooooohhh, I like those a lot. So those were plasti dip only, before you made them darker?

How many cans for how many coats?

I feel you on the brake pads. I think ebc yellow stuff is the dustiest pad compound made sure will put you through the windshield though.
Is that charcoal before or after being painted over? Thanks.
