Looks fantastic on your car with the ceta mod. Gotta ask though, how did you manage such a nice clean line?

I only put a thin strip off masking tape about 1" away from the spokes, sparayed it let it dry real good and peeled it off, although I did have to use a razor blade on the wheels where the spokes and barrel of rim meet but was not hard at all. Honestly the tape was not even necessary. I have since polished the lips and looks a lot better, ill post pics.

I'm seriously thinking about doing this to my CCW wheels. It's temporary, doesn't cause any damage and if you don't like it, it just peels right off. My WS6 is pewter, just like yours, so I think it would look pretty good.

You should do it, its a nice little project and changes the look of the car.
I bought the cans of plasti dip from dipyourcar.com
Keep us posted if you do them the would look sick.!

That looks great! I was thinking of doing this to mine but in black. I really like the gunmetal, but everything else on my car is white/black theme so I can't change now lol

Thanks for letting me know where you got this stuff at. I bought regular black plasti-dip from a local hardware store and used it on my hurst T-Bar shiffter ****, but I didn't see the other stuff you used.

If you don't mind me asking, how many passes did you make with the other plasti-dip stuff to give it that gunmetal look?

I plan on buying a set of ZR1's and having them powdered in gunmetal. So for the mean time just going to buy the plasti in gunmetal and spray my 5 spokes to see if I will like the gunmetal. You should take more pictures.

They look nearly indistinguishable from the ones I had painted for my Formula. Nice!

Yea I don't think they'll have the silver metalizer plasti dip at hardware stores, I've only seen it on the website I however got it from.
I did about 4 heavy coats of the metalizer the more metalizer you add the lighter they will look so it depends on how light or dark you want it to look

No damage was done to the wheels.. there is already a small gap between the spokes and the barrel of the wheel. I simply just ran razor blade through that gap to male it easy when I peeled off the plasti dip.

That looks really good. I may try this before I decide to powder coat.
