I will post pics tonight but I think I put on too much clear coat I used like 5 coats and it just looks grey... So if you do wheels just do like 1 or 2 coats

Oh my bad lol I forgot about this thread haha btw it is a license plate not a cover lmao dont ask why, but I will try to take a pic tonight...my only warning is definitely do not use more than 2 or 3 light coats of clear or else it will be hard to remove

Is this just to test the pd with clear or are you actually using this on your plates? I can't see how this is the slightest bit legal.

I'm really curious and looking to PD my OEM chrome 17's until I find some ray 19's. Did you also spray the lugs or just leave those as is? I'm trying to figure out what would be the best solution, chrome lugs probably won't look decent with matte black wheels...
