I will be doing 6 coats next time.

Anyways, here's my progress pics followed by a ton of pics this morning!

Decided to take the rims completely off


About to wash them all by hand


First layers going on. I used index cards to keep it off the tires, worked perfect and I was able to get the lip of the rim as well


Drying (still glossy) vs original!


The deep spot was a big ding I got in the rim the day before. It looked horrible and luckily the plastidip hides is pretty well.


First shot lowered back down!


And now for all my beauty shots, be prepared for photo madness!!! Took a TON of photos to show you in different lights such as direct sunlight, shade, dark, etc.

















Epic grass photos!!!


Nice job bro ! Really looks good !
