Friday night project

Did my wheels last night and it looks amazing. I have the chrome wheels and got tired of the look. Let's see how the Plasti Dip performs on chrome.

I used about a can and a half on each wheel. I sprayed with the wheels on but instead of rolling the car back and forth to get every little space, I released the transmission lock, jacked the car up wheel by wheel and spun the wheels as I sprayed. Of course I chocked the wheels while doing that.

Did a light first coat all around, then started doing heavier coats each time with about 6 total coats. I used a fan to speed the drying in between coats.

As a bonus, I also did the kidney grills. Looks amazing! Next are the badges and the two lower mesh grills.

What do you think???
