Well it went through with it lol. Its done with plasti dip. One can black for base, and 3 cans of gold metalizer for the finish. I actually love it lol.

I like it. Maybe it's the light but the color looks darker than I thought it would.
Now what about the bearing caps?

Looks good to me. I like the red and gold. I'm usually not a fan of gold either.

Yea Im not a huge fan of gold either but have always felt gold wheels on a red car looks good, so now we have gold steelies lol
That looks really good. The only other car I've ever thought gold wheels looked good on was a blue Subaru Impreza. I can add red Mirage to that list.

I was thinking about painting my factory wheels in gold for the winter. I wonder how plasti-dip would hold up to snow and salt.

Thanks wellswebdesign lol, and from my experiences with plasti dip it holds up just fine in salt and snow if applied right. These arent the first wheels I have dipped by far and I live in Indiana and snow or salt hasnt effected them at all.

Much better with the trim rings. Now throw on the bearing caps already mentioned, and you'll be "golden".
