Maybe something in a dark gunmetal. Just a little darker than stock silver or maybe a shiny gloss black. Might try both

Heck. When I do decide on one I'll leave the PD under it so its not permanent

From what I remember, you have to put enough layers so that it forms a solid layer so when you peel, it doesn't all apart like a cheap sticker?

...ding ding ding!
I really should give it another go...the main thing that stops me is it's a lot of work and in the end, I'm really happy with the theme I have going on. If I had silver rims I'd have another NBP with silver rims. LOL.

I'm ready for some full sized full car shots of yours, btw!

...now you're just playing dirty.

Dude...that was one of the funniest things that's been done to me in a long time. I wonder if he changed his avi back yet. I actually have a backup set of engine covers that are still black.

My stock wheels are a gunmetal, they came that way when I bought the car used. It looks like some Rustoleum spray paint - not a good job. Thinking about hitting them with some Gunmetal PD, then go over with some glossifier or whatevs. Buda (Sean) has a sweet thread on his recent PD adventures. Check it out:
https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...=863580&page=1

Can't wait to see what you're gonna do with some PD though
