So I decided to change up the stock wheel color. I love how 06tl4life had painted stockies. I hope you don't mind, but I used the same gunmetal color pattern.

I first used plastidip as a primer so I can peel it off if it didn't turn out right. I included a pic of me peeling it off due to an mistake. So if anyone has any questions on how easy it is to remove, you can see. I found some gunmetal color spray paint at Walmart. The exact color was metallic charcoal. I already had my center cap "A" painted red, so I just had to tape it off and paint the rest gunmetal. And a little glossy clear coat and I'm done. Let me know what you think.

I know everyone is going to say, "drop it". I'm just waiting on some extra cash to flow my way so I can purchase some coilovers. I'm thinking the HT-Spec function and form type 1's. My baby will be almost perfect once she gets a nice drop.

Wow those look great! Nicely done!

RRP

Wow, looks nicely done!

The best part I think is that you can just peel it off!

I like the darker color much better. Nice work!

looks good with that color

Thanks for the comments all. I'm really happy with how it turned out. I had an idea of how the color would work with my car, but it's even better than I thought!

See, everyone loves plasti dip

Plasti Dip the mod of the year

Looks good-especially on the RRP!

its nice, until you get them into the places you can't peel them from, then it turns into a pain in the ass -___-

I think one of my favorite things about your car is how the new wheel color and the front grille match. it has a very nice fluidic feeling for me.

I do have a ? for you though. have you ever thought of color-matching the "A" on the front to the car? IMO that would look drop dead sexy and would really tie into the rest of the car.

RRP is so gorgeous... especially with metallic or gun metal wheels.

Add a drop (sorry i had to haha) with a glossy black top and it'd be a done deal! Your car will be breaking necks in no time lol

hey man looks awesome! great idea using the plastidip to. Im thinking about going back to the silver look so im going to have to use paint striper. wished i would have used plastidip as a primer like you did.

The front grille is actually flat black. I'm thinking of painting it too. I never thought about painted the "A" on the front. I kinda like how the chrome pops, but now that you mention it, a color matched "A" might be pretty sweet. Thanks for the idea!

Thanks man! I've been envious of your look for a while now. Just finally decided that I should take a shot at it. I was tempted to try and trade for yours, but I don't live close enough...lol. I'm happy how it turned out. Just need a nice drop and I'll be really happy!

SHIT....i never would have thought of the color combo....

great looking....and ohh gotta love the RRP's !!!

Looks good, I'm in the process of doing the same thing to my OEM wheels

Looks good to me....well done!

Very well done indeed! Now just slam that TL bro

Very cool! Looks great.
Seems like a very good way to test out a look before committing to the cost of re-finishing.

Great Job

Time for Meguiars Tire Gel

That looks awesome your almost getting me to do it.

did you use the same spray for your front grill

It just looks like it. Parts are vinyl wrap. Parts are plastidip including the bottom of the A-Spec lip. I'm eventually going to take the vinyl off and plastidip the whole thing.

I like the look. Nice job.

Wow that came out really nice. Especially with that color contrast. Good job

Wheels look great! Good idea using plasti-dip as a primer. I may just have to try this on my OEM wheels.

I wonder if plastidip would stick over putty.

I need to fix my curb rashes (from previous owner!) before painting them.

^^^ GP i think it will....if the putty is completely dry and SOLID, it will....

Word.

Plasti-Dip sticks to everything?

Wow gray looks awesome with the color of your TL!

Gave my baby a little wash and wax.

car is looking awesome dude !!!

a better drop will look

RRP FTW !!!

Very pretty car.
Bar Keepers Friend on those exhaust tips, my friend!

Still love the RRP the best....

Where can I find BKF? I've heard the dollar store. Does Walmart have it? If so, what section? Thanks.

^ Should be at home depot too. I think a set of smoked tails would look awesome on your ride.

Hey man I a newbie to the site and I just got the same color TL I looking to more a less the same mods you got on yours. But my question is what color spray did you use to get that red on the emblems. and what color sis you use to get that light grey for the wheel?

thanks Bazinga

^^^ Dupli-color graphite wheel paint for the wheels and you can buy a bottle of red touch up paint for the center caps.
