I am curious what an alternating dark gray and lighter gray would look like. or maybe a dark gray then black.
oh, I haven't thought of trying an alternating pattern. Maybe my next dip will be. I am not sure about having a mat-black color on a gloss-black car. Also, gloss-black wheels are a no go.
Looks good, Not a huge fan of gold either but its different at least. My first thought was hope you dont need to take one of the wheels off any time soon and scrape up the 'dip on the lug nuts.
Just remembered that I am doing a tire rotation soon
kudos for not going with basic black. at least nobody standing 20 feet away from your car will think you are rolling on steelies.
definitely don't want that :thmsup:.
I do like the contrast of gold on black, wanted to do that with my Grand Am back in 09, but gold plastidip wasn't around yet.
IMO, I would have taken the wheels off. Two reasons:
>mask off the "H" on the centercap
>no overspray all over the lugnuts
The lugs are going to look like crap once they're taken off with an impact gun or just a lug wrench. Good excuse to get different lugs, maybe even a lightweight set.
I agree, it is a good combination. :yes:
Yeah, I am still thinking about a way to get the H back. My thought was to print a same-size H logo on sticker-paper, stick it on the logo, and peel it off after painting. Will take care of it with the next dip.
Also, I meant to paint the lugs because they started to get rusty corners as a result of wrenches and impact guns. I should get new ones.
