Default Gunmetal rims and rear valence
I ordered the gunmetal plasti-dip from dipyourcar.com along with the glossifier plasti-dip because i wanted to paint my rims gunmetal.
I think it turned out awesome but after doing my rims i got tired of the black plasti-dip emblems and rear valence so the other day i decided to peel it all off.
Right now i like the clean look of the chrome emblems so i decided not to do them in gunmetal, but i thought the rear valence with gunmetal would look awesome with the rims.
I did the rims a few weeks ago but just now got around to taking pictures.
I posted this just to see what everyone thinks about the new look and their opinions on plasti-dip!

The rims look real good, but I'm not sure about the valance. It looks good, just kinda odd being that lighter color.

Best look yet. Glad I didn't do my wheels yet. I'll be doing gun metal now. I plan to do the bottom trim in the sides in black and think the gun metal will look pretty sharp.

It looks good, but black would look much better I think.

I like the gunmetal wheels, but I like the black valence a little better. Not bad though!

I like it. Does the gun metal match your front grille at all?

Thanks guys.
I understand about the valence, it matches the rims but black might have looked better. I still like it a lot though.
It doesn't match the front grill.

The gunmetal is a sweet look just needs their clear coat so it's not so matte.

If you do that then make sure you let the plastidip cure for a day or two before you paint over it
