If this combo has been done on the 997, I've never seen it. Gray on bronze wheels

Since I can never leave well enough alone, I decided to try something out with plastidip. I sprayed the bronze metalizer over my black wheels. I'm actually really happy with the result and am planning on having them powdercoated for a more permanent solution.

It's unique for sure but without being loud. I think it really complements the interior color as well.

People are welcome to post their opinions (they always do), though I don't really care one way or the other. I like it.

And a shot of the right side for reference (since this was a test, I didn't do all four).

Not bad. Props to you for trying something different. Like you essentially said eff the naysayers - it's about what you like.

I like it...however do you think it's a novelty that may wear out over time (i.e., if you make it more permanent)?

in my opinion it looks good. not great but good. what would make it look great? Less gloss. not matte, but maybe a satin finish to work better with the gray.


edit: actually it looks to have a satin type finish. the last pic throws it off a bit. it looks really nice in the other pics.... it doesnt draw my eyes immediately to the wheels (thats a good thing).
