This stuff is awesome. This is 5 coats. Made a mistake thinking that the wife is crafty, she can do it. Well she sprayed a little to close and overlapped. Hope it smooths out.
Looks gray but it's black as you see the tire, just lighting inside garage so fsr:

Corey is that your charger? I have a 13 as well and love my damn car. I want to buy 21" so bad but feel like it would be a huge waste of money. I like the spoiler on yours, I don't have one.

Yup, lets do it.
As Weasel said, fool proof.
It's all about the prep though. Super clean the surface, even spraying and not to long in one spot, and enough coats.
I fucked up the charger emblem as I used a toothpick between but didn't come off as clean as I wanted. Will be doing that over

I'm quoting you quoting yourself. Anyways, plastidipping is an alternative to painting your vehicle or parts of your car like the wheels or emblems. The best part is that it is removable. The stuff peels right off when you want it to. It also protects the original paint or finish. I wouldn't do my whole car but some people do. I've thought about doing my wheels. Probably won't though.
Did you ever do your wheels Oracle?
Thinking of doing the Charger wheels that glossy black they have and possibly the grille.
The wheels seem easy enough but the grille may be a pain in the ass.
The glossy looks pretty sweet.
Start here shel

Left them to dry.
I honestly dont see much difference in the glossifier on the back wheel after 4 coats and 6 coats of matte only on the front. I know its hard to tell from this pic though as I couldnt get it outside as it was raining.
The emblems are harder than I thought and will try to tackle those and the other 2 tires tomorrow. Might start all over after my trial run today as I may go matte all around.
I think it looks pretty awesome and its still drying and I havent taken the perimeter off the tire yet so it may look splotchy:
