Default m5 wheel with gunmetal plasti dip


Does this color look right?
I got 4 coats of gunmetal dip, and 1 clear coat.

IMO.. No. I have style 166 in gunmetal and these look blue. If your happy with the color I say run them! You put the time and effort in to dip them so I think it's up to you. Might look nice on a blue e60, but gunmetal to me.. Looks less blue and more grey. Check out some of my pics of my 166 if you'd like.

Did you use paint or dip? What brand you used?

you need to put metalizer on top, it will give it a more true gunmetal

Yhea look blue/gray to me too. Too flat looking as well. I'd try the metalizer as suggested.
