[QUOTE="humms, post: 708111, member: 41986"] didn't want to start a new thread, so tumpang your topic to post what i did with my F30 320d alpine white sport line. after replacing the stock mundane looking wheels last year to the m sport staggered wheels (400M), the colour combination looked a bit off in my opinion. since i've done up some other parts of the car with plastidip matte black, was thinking why not i try doing up the wheels. search around the internet and saw some of the video tutorials by DYC and i finally used the "lazy man's" way of spraying.. while the wheels are still on the cars! as per the tutorial, i used large plastic bags to wrap up the brake callipers and rotors. waited about 10 minutes between coats. that's about 10 minutes if you're spraying a single coat on 4 wheels. by the time you're done with the 4th wheel, you can start the 2nd coat on the first wheel and repeat it 4 times. it took me under 3 hours to do it. of course with this lazyman's way of doing plastidipping, you'll get certain area not fully dipped and you won't be getting an even spray at the inner wheel. no fret, because brake dusts will just blend the colour. not sure about the end result, i've also bought a can of plastidip glossifier just in case i don't dig the matte look. ACE hardware MV has tonnes of matte black and they're also bringing in neon colours. hope that they'll bring in more like the metalizers and the true metallics colours! the local distributor (ampang boulevard, along MRR2 near to Zoo) is selling about RM70 a can when it's only about USD6 - 10 a can in the US / Canada.
