Leave it silver.

Matte looks like you need to clean your wheels, imo. I have black plastidipped wheels, but I added a bit of the metallizer and a lot of glossifier. People are always surprised when I tell them it's plastidip.

Also, unless this guy is doing it for free, just do it yourself. It's cheap and stupid easy to do.

Here's a picture of mine.

I have sparkling graphite too and I feel that gun metal is too close to the color of my car. I like black although I need to go for glossy next time.

Mine are from a spraycan. Easiest thing in the world, plastidip is very forgiving to spray.

BeastMode335i · 03-23-2016, 02:26 PM

Yeah I did all my trim with it, but never used the glossifier or other product.. those wheels look dope, how many coats of each was used?

Ruddigger · 03-23-2016, 02:43 PM

3 coats black, very light misting of metallizer, 3 heavy coats gloss.

Silver

Black would probably look the best on it. Also, I would Plasti Dip the wheels myself. It's actually a very easy process, but will probably end up taking an entire day if you want it done the right way. It holds up really well, and the best part about it is, if you're not happy, just peel it off.
