Weekend project: black rims

Dougeefresh · 08-17-2014, 07:50 PM

Here they are! Wasn't sure I would like it so just tried it on temporarily if you know what I mean

Took some quick images.

Looks good....ever think about going gloss black?

BimmerRookie · 08-17-2014, 08:48 PM

I think it looks good, but I prefer the natural finish. Maybe if the body was a lighter color...

Plastidip is naturally matte. There is clear coat glossifier but it still won't look like glossy paint (more like semi gloss) because of the texture.

I thought about doing the same thing some time ago but never ended up doing it. Looks good though!

Nice... will look better when they are painted.

Looks great! I have semi gloss ones...

dj_dub · 08-18-2014, 11:08 AM

I think it looks good! ...for some reason, Plastidip doesn't look as black as it should in pics. But it definitely does in person.

PS: I have that same exact ///M banner...lol

It does look darker (black, not dark gray) in person. Although I like the color for now I don't think I will make a permanent switch.

PS: lol Ebay baby!
