Default Just used a Dipyourcar.com kit on my rims

Just plastidipped my rims from the stock silver to anthracite gray - pretty happy with the outcome! I'll be buying new rims and using these for snow tires eventually, so this is helping me decide how dark I want them. The last picture is a little darker in general because the clouds rolled in.

Thoughts?

Thanks! They're gloss (I did 4 layers of the glossifier) but it's not a high gloss. ...if that makes any sense. This may be a better depiction:

Will do! I used just the regular black with no glossifier on my last car's snow rims and it seemed to hold up pretty well (we were voted one of the worst winters in the country this year), hoping these will too.

Looks very sharp. I may have to do this with my winter wheels which are a set of Austins from my GTI (previous car).
