Ok well update on plastidip

Firstly one of the wheel caps peeled (i did notice it was lifting on a edge when I sprayed it)

Then the next day the rear wheel started peeling, again I though it may have done because when moving the car with bags on discs the bags must have moved a bit and lifted the edge.

So now have two wheels silver one side and two plastidipped the other side!

Also got a new tin of metalizer, started spraying and nozzle got stuck down and kept coming out, even removed nozzle and still came out, so waste of £15 there

This the wheels after a few coats of silver metalizer

So personally ideal for grill, small items (and fish tank backgrounds!)

But I wont be using again on wheels as worked out quite expensive (£80)

Think im gonna get them done professionally this colour next...

That's a shame... I have always been unsure using plasti-dip on wheels but it looks so cool! 

 

I quite like the wheels without the center caps because it breaks up the plainness (if that makes sense) and it's another good excuse to get nice wheel nuts ;)

I should have started up a voting thread for wheel caps!

I think i prefer without, unfortunately they are wheel bolts Kyfer and only found red ones and need extra long ones on back cos of 20mm spacers!

Edit...just found wheel bolt covers...sorted!
