To augment the existing PlastiDip thread, are a couple of quick pics of the 172s in gunmetal. I did ~4 coats of black and then 3 or 4 coats of silver metalizer.

Thanks! It is an easy a cheap way to make a huge improvement on the look of the car. Plus, this stuff peels right off if I want to change it. It holds up a lot better than I thought too. I have run it through the touchless car wash without a problem.

Looks amazing. I used it on my now shadow line trim, kidney grill and trunk badge. So far so good. Nice whip bro

I bought the kit from dipyourcar.com. They have a ton of videos on youtube on how to do this stuff.

I went from "what wheels am I going to get for this thing" to "damn, I like those wheels on this car"
