A shop in vic is doing full cars $1000.

Didn't it cost veva like $500? Obviously the labour is a killer but still

How'd the wheels come out Henz?

Will get some of them fitted tommorow. There's some of them painted in the thread on my ute.

Afaik it's more in materials than $500 to do a car.

Thanks guys!

Taped up everything henz and did light coats like normal, I thought the plastidip would cut itself on the spokes because they're sharp edges but it didn't do it like I wanted and when I took the tape off it left a bit of overspray peeled up on the inside of some of the spokes. So just went around with a sharp razor blade and cleaned it all up. The purple is definitely different to the can. I think the colour base of the wheel makes a big difference. My spokes were silver so the purple came out lighter. The gloss really brought the colour out more too. worth having a play with

When I did my mrs I sprayed and peeled the tape straight away. Doesn't work as easily as it does in youtube videos lol.
