thinking about plasti dipping my 2012 sport wheels?

Thinking about plasti dipping my 2012 sport wheels. I was thinking about using the black and then using the gold color you can spray over it. I also thought about using just white plasti dip.....I have a blue raspberry metallic, what do u think would good. Another option could be the black with the gloss over it...give me some feedback.

Leave them OEM. Painted stock wheels have never looked good. Ever.

Paint 'em! Can't go wrong with Plastidip, no mistakes, no regrets, no problem. Plus it'll make your stock Fit look realllll good.

I used flat black. I did it the other day, but I haven't posted pics yet. I have received a lot of comments on how it looks better than the stock wheels and somehow has made my car look lower. Many peeps told me that it looked lower. I think it really goes with all the black trim on the car....I will post some pics later.

I was actually thinking of doing something similar but there is too much intricate taping involved and when u do peel the tape off, you would have to use an exacto knife to cut along the tape edge so you wouldn't rip off the plasti dip where you intended it to be.
