Plastidipped Wheels
 
3 Attachment(s)
Got around to a project I've wanted to do for a while this weekend-plastidipped wheels! I like the aluminum look, but it's hard to maintain and keep polished, so I decided to try out the dip. I know dip can be polarizing-some love it and some hate it-but for $10 and a few hours work, I have to say I'm impressed.

Before:

And After (I especially like how it sets off the red calipers):

For $10 bucks and a few hours work that is a nice upgrade :) the black does make the red caliper stand out

It looks good but you should try it with having the Chevy symbol and maybe the outside alloy still there. Those would look cool. I do like the black though.

Looks good, some people hate plastidip, but its a cheap non permanent way to mod your car.

I agree that they're almost too black now. The chevy bowties are really faded-but I thought about getting some SS stickers to put on the hubs. I have some touch-up paint that matches my car, thought about using that to paint around the edge of the rims-but my skill does not match my ambition there, I think.

Still, an improvement on before I think.

yeah-I mean, shadow chrome would be preferable, but it's a tiny bit more expensive...

I plasti dipped my wheel 6 years ago lol. I applied 8 coats per wheel including the inner dish part. Still to this day they're holding up without any scratches or rips. They went through 5 winters w/salt and I always pressure wash them.
