Red paint on wheels was chipping pretty bad so i thought i would plastidip them red

but apparently it was too cold in my shop and it clumped together so i couldn't get a nice even spray and cover up with chipping

So i had some tiffany blue paint laying around and decided to do something new (had to use 2 2x4s just to jack it up and im not even that low lol)

and I like it a lot more than i expected to. It gives it in my opinion a nice clean less aggressive look while still being an attention ***** :)
Car needs washed and will take some better pics soon. Will probably keep this color for a little bit. Give me some feedback! good or bad.

color looks good, maybe degrease and tire shine the tires and the wheels might pop more.
btw part of the reason you weren't getting an even spray was probably because of the angle you held the can, for the best spray the can must be vertical and shaken every minute(talking about rattle cans in general) standing the wheels on the edge of a table so you can keep the index cards would work well

Thanks! And yeah I haven't had time to clean my car lol. It wasn't the technique it was actually because of how cold it was that the paint was like a slushy even with constantly shaking the can. So once spring rolls around ill probably switch back to red.

Looks good, but I think I liked the red color more. Complemented the black a bit better
