I recently bought a set of 18” takeoff rims to change out my 20” rims and oem tires for 35’s. My intent was to color match the new rims but rather than paint, I chose to try a matte anthracite plastidip wheel kit from dipyourcar.com
Prep work is everything when painting so I cleaned the wheels with dish soap and acetone to remove dirt and grime. Then I painted the inside of the wheel with black spray paint for a finished look.
It took almost a day to process the wheels with staged masking between paint and plastidip but following the videos on DYC’s website really paid off.
I think the color match is dang near perfect with the granite gray. I love the look and am really happy with the results, especially considering the low cost of materials.
