Default Weekend project complete. Plasti dip + paint center of ZR1s and painted calipers.

As the title states, I plasti dipped the center star of my zr1 wheels and then did a few coats of dupli color graphite wheel paint. It's my first time ever painting wheels but I think it turned out ok and for the price (~$40) I can't really complain.

Since I had the wheels off I decided it was a good time to get the calipers painted too. I also sprayed 2 light coats of plasti dip on the side markers to give them a smoked look.

I wasn't sure if I'd like the look of just painting the center "star" with out painting any of the lip but I really like how it turned out.

What you guys think?

Thanks guys.

Also, I'm debating whether to add decals on the "trans am" door emblems and the "ram air" on the hood.

What do ya'll think? Decals or no decals? If yes, red or grey/silver?
