Looks great! I helped my girlfriends brother plastidip his Acura cl wheels today. I am amazed at how well it turned out. Plastidip is magic in a bottle!

Looks good! Did you leave calipers on when painting? The black on black is a good look. Thinking of doing my Metalic Silver with matte black rims and calipers.

Yea I left the calipers on the whole time I used two jacks and did two wheels at a time Then since my wheels were off I plasti dip them too. Painting the calipers is really a easy job. I used the brake cleaner that came with the kit and also sanded it down a bit
