Plastidip Wheels - Some questions
I'm wanting to plastidip some wheels I have. They are a decent set of wheels but they are chrome and I don't like the finish but I don't want to re-paint the wheels.

I want to leave the lips in chrome and do the spokes in a gunmetal finish.

They are 18" wheels with thin multispoke design.

How much paint do you think I will need per wheel? I want to get a nice even coat of paint as well as a coat of clear on top of the dip.

I plan on using the spray cans you can get at CanTire to do this.

That is what I was thinking.
Not sure if I should go black center or gunmetal.

I was thinking 1 can of paint per wheel and 2 cans of clear to do the 4 wheels.
