So i got my car painted a gun metal grey/silver and plastidipped wheels black. Im not 100% sold on it. Should i clear it too? Maybe go with a silver rim? Whats you guys' take on it, love it or hate it.
Btw, i wish i could upload a better pic. Guess theres a 2mb cap or something. My galaxy s4 takes great pics but theyre big.

Ok, cropped the shit out of one and finally got the size down. Whatya think?

Looks like you did a good job with it. I think silver would look alright, but it needs to be gloss and not a matte finish. Not easy to do this with plastidip.
Good job though!
 
BRIGHT silver would look awesome... I don't care for the flat black with the gun metal paint...
 
yea im leaning towards silver. Oh well, rims are easy to paint. Just a couple base coats and a couple clears and itll b done. Car is almost there. Just waiting on seat brackets then after a couple minor tweaks shes going for a dyno session!

99 iowa, i can see what you mean, that would look prettty bad ass but i dont have the balls to try it haha

Oh, and there is a Baer kit in my future w red calipers. That'll really complete the outside look of the car. Nice huge 13" rotors
 
I'd a dark dark grey like halfway between your paint and black. Plastidip sells a glossifyer. Always see it at home depot. Don't use paint clear cloat, it'll jack them up and wont come off like you think it would.
