Lovely ride; dont make the starfish alloys black mate.. Remember they´re 17s, making them black on a light coloured car will only make them smaller and sillyer to the eye.
Using Perfomix Plasti-Dip Gunmetal-Grey (first 2-3 layers) and finishing off with Plasti-Dip True Metallic
Alluminum (last 2-3 layers) will get you that OEM look.
This will work brilliant. Youll need 2 cans of G.Met. grey and 2 cans of True.Met Alluminum.

See youtube: plasti dip true metallic

Will do. Remember the first coat is a very dusty, light layer, for al the others to stick to.
plasti-noobs often make the noob mistake thinking that the whole thing should be done within
1 or 2 layers of spraying. Keep the layers light and wait 15 minutes between them.
Dont expect results after just 2 layers for example.. Did mine in 6 light layers, no runners, perfect struture all around and lasts the longest.
They recommered using 1 can per wheel. Wich is too much, trust me.
With just 2 cans gunmet. grey u can get 2-3 layers on all 4 wheels, and doing the same thing with 2 cans of true mettalic alluminum.

Right on!
