Plastidipped Wheels black - After

So I decided to go ahead on the Plastidip. I sprayed three coats of clear after it was set and done. Here are the results. (red marker is in process of being blacked out) I am happy with the results, comments and suggestions are appreciated,car is dirty by the way. Thanks!

I have my rims dipped also and it's on there pretty damn well. Only trouble is debris gets stuck on it very well but nothing water can't do to wash it off. Sucks when you aren't near a water source that isn't yours though.

Yes you would. But it will only cost you two cans of paint. Better than paying hundreds of dollars.

Seems more durable than I thought. I was thinking it was gonna be like a plastic, vinyl look and feel to them. They feel more like the rear diffuser and are pretty "stuck" on in there.

I used two coats of clear on it, just a slight gloss from flat. I found that putting some armor all on them gets a glossy wet look, which I prefer.
