Spent my President's Day having some fun with plasti dip. I did my wheels (stock 2016), emblems and the front lip (don't have a great pic of that... it's just black instead of gray).

First, cleaned and mask front and rear emblems (I shoved a plastic bag behind the front emblem, wasn't too keen on spraying plasti dip straight into the filter)

Then, cleaned and masked off wheels. I simply sliced open a garbage bag and wrapped it around the rotors and calipers and all the shit that shouldn't get sprayed. I wrapped the lugnuts because I didn't want to fuck with them if I have to take my wheels off, and I like the look of the chrome lugs showing on black wheels. Just wrapped the tape around my thumb and slid over the lug.

Now it's time to start spraying.

First coat is splotchy but from what I read that's just fine.

Here is about 4 coats of black plasti dip.

I also did 2 coats of glossifier... really only gave it a satin look, not super glossy. But exactly what I was looking for.

Here are the before and after shots:

Had a little trouble removing the mask on the emblems, front one got a little messed up I'll have to re-do it. But here's the rear... left the whole Hyundai badge black since I had trouble getting the little bits out

My back and legs are sore. I feel old. But the car looks dope!!!

Looks great! I'll have to do that one of these days. Personal opinion, I woulda painted the lugs too

Love the look. The black is either a love it or hate it thing with wheels. With the white, I like the black. On my car I went with an anthracite color and my girl went with a dark graphite pearl which is just a touch off black with some metallic in it. Looks really good.

If I wanted stock, I wouldn't have painted them black... Doi!

I was planning on doing the lugs until I saw one like this and loved it. You should go for it. It's so easy, just time consuming.

Yeah when I got the car I knew I would go with black wheels, I think it's such a killer look with white. The colors you went with sound dope dude.

Did good brofessor. Recently did mine (Ironman Silver) in all black with 2 coats of gloss. Turned out great. I dig the blue lugs too. I'm looking to pick up some red to go with my theme.

Looks great man. I painted mine to keep them protected from salt and to protect the chrome wings. I also like black on certain bright colors... white, red, orange and yellow.

Thank you. I bet yours look great, but my lugs aren't blue that's just the painter's tape lol. But now that you mention it... could look cool

Thanks! I agree on the dark wheels looking great on bright colors... I like it on the rally matte blue too.
