Yellow-Black or white
Blue-White and depending on the tone, black
Before my Audi my last car was black and I thought I'd like the wheels black as well so I got done plasti dipping one and took it off 5 minutes later. Hated how it looked.

Tomorrow is looking like it will be warm enough out to plasti dip my rims... Hmm

I personally hate how black plasti looks, it's too matte for me. I have mine done in anthracite gray with glossifier over it, I get people asking where I got them powder coated quite a bit. But then again I'm really really picky when it comes to car things

I was going to say in my last post that I don't think I want to do plain old black plasti dip because of the reasons you mentioned. I'll have to see what HD has tomorrow after work. I believe I've seen the grey and glossifier.

4 cans of grey, and 1 can of glossifier or 4 cans of glossifier as well? I've never used the glossifier.

Maybe I haven't seen it in the store. Probably thinking of the gun metal grey.

I tried gunmetal, it's not what you would expect, it's a very light gray. Anthracite gray is a dipyourcar exclusive color, it's light than black and has metallic flake in it, I used 3 cans of anthracite and a can of glossifier

Yeah I know how different they are. I'll have to order it. Price is double of what a normal can is but it sure beats paying hundreds for different rims.

Did you spray your wheels on or off the car?

Ya, I think it costs about $30 to do a set of rims with dipyourcar colors. I took them off my car, but you could easily do it with them on
