Do tell. You painted yourself? Can you describe your processes? Sanding? How many coats of paint? Lacquer? Tires on/off? |

Now THAT is a GARAGE / MAN CAVE! |
Interesting thing about the milled wheel option—so far no 2019 coupes have been equipped with it that I’m aware of. Don’t know if it’s a delayed intro or what, but right now only seen on the SB. |
So nice.

RichardG that looks really good. I was going to pull mine and Plastidip them myself. I did that with my S6 in gunmetal and they turned out really good and lasted more than a year. Cool thing is if you wd40 them and powerwash them you can blast the plastidip off. Easy to change colors too. Nice job.

Just prep the wheels by cleaning very well and use a pre-cleaner then spray several coats of color then the two part clear. The clear is what makes the wheels look like a regular paint finish. Painted with tires on the wheel, just apply a dip release on the tires before you paint, then the paint just peels off the tires really easy after it dries. Autoflex is just releasing a new formula called Autoflex Express, its suppose to be easier to apply. I have not tried it yet. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.aud...dda58845cc.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.aud...1c736e5a47.jpg |
New Floor mats arrived from Autostyle in the UK, almost exact color as oem and thicker material. You can pick from several color trims and stitching and logos.
Applied a couple coats of water and stain repellent on the logos to keep them clean. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.aud...264088fbb1.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.aud...68185ff384.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.aud...0dcaf0bcb5.jpg |
