Title: black wheels
Post by: Als87 on January 28, 2014, 11:27:25 am

Im considering trying the plasti dip on my standard 15'' wheels. Anyone used it? ive heard & read good reviews.

My truck is a lifted 87 that has a fresh coat of dark gunmetal gray metallic paint. I've done away with alot of the chrome & replaced with new black accessories & whats not done yet will b replaced sooner than later.

im not sure if i should go matte black or gloss black for the wheels tho.

I have a few cans in my garage, but haven't used it yet. I have read on another forum of people using it on various pieces of trim and of course wheels with success. Give it a shot, best thing about it, is if you don't like it you can peel it off and try something else.
