can you show me a pic?
Should give you an idea:
How it would look on your car, all depends on what your car looks like obviously, i was just showing that done right...it can look good
Decided to plasti dip/paint my stock 19s to glossy black. End result was somewhat decent; could have been better if I waiting more than 15 minutes between coats.
Steps I took:
1. Plasti Dipped the wheels (3 coats)
2. Sprayed gloss black gloss paint over plasti dip (2 coats)
3. Sprayed clear coat over paint (1 coat)
Let me know what you think.
Prep work (used index cards.. went to Walmart and found these.. 100 pack for $0.50):
PD 1st coat:
PD 2nd coat:
PD 3rd coat:
Paint 1st coat:
Paint 2nd coat:

did they sand the rims down or the coats? i want it to be reversible so i dont want to really mess with sand paper that much
How many coats did you do? It's hard to tell, but it looks like you just need more coats to smooth it out a bit. Thin multiple coats not a few thick coats.
Sanding wont affect the outcome with plastidip (unless the part is gouged and knicked) because its textured, it bonds well and hids minor flaws.

He coated them because the car is used for road course duty and the brake dust from the aftermarket brakes is pretty abrasive and corrosive.
