over 2-3 coats of black dip. One or 2 more of gold and it could have looked much more gold.
Probably not something I would do to my summer wheels, but def a winter set. Pretty cool stuff...so easy to work with.
I wonder how that color would look up against my ls's color... I like it! Its not Gucci but subtle... Good stuff...
PHOTOSHOP TIME! (insert Dr. evil laugh)
well.. I got my ls up too 299,000kms now and it most likely just a time bomb anyway's so I think I might as well take the plunge and do the whole car with plasti dip. I might have to fix up the fender rust though first, not to sure how well that'd hold up to the dip.
I'm just going to expect that it'll turn out exactly like this but I believe the above pic is a wrap. (doesnt say in the add I found the picture on)

Yeah im not too sure where its from, just found it on a google search of "flat black ls"
So far my entire project has been a low budget so I will definitely be going with the dip once I can budget it in. I have a paint gun so it should turn out okay. But for now its back to the job hunt.

Don't bother fixing the fender. Just dip the rust, it'll be fine.
But then it's just going to continue to rust underneath and it will be difficult to pull the Dip off of the rust when you do. Because the rust isn't a smooth finish but porous, the Dip will soak into it and not peel off.
Any opinions on autumn red with the stock sport wheels? I was thinking this.

Just bought two cans of plasti dip to screw around with.
Off topic but does anyway know where to get those barcelona's for a good price or is that just a cruel joke.

You need at least 1000 to buy a set.

That's what I figured. I have been looking for wheels and I love barcelonas but the prices I have seen were too high, didn't know if there were some acceptable replicas out there.

If you get lucky. Once in a blue moon you'll find a used set for sale. Got my set for 350. But they were rough. Had them refinished and now I'm in them for 1150 but they are basically brand new.

for me looks better on chrome

I kinda hate chrome. So to each their own I suppose.
Don't get me wrong, a nice set a chrome wheels can look great, especially on a black car. However, on white I think chrome looks particularly bad.
