Plasti Dip Stinger?

Thinking (or should I said already decided) of plasti dipping my Stinger Anthracite Grey. I absolutely love that color and I think it would make for a cool cosmetic upgrade. I'm also thinking of adding 20 inch rims but only for the spring/summer time.

Both the rims and the color change will just be temporary customizations as it would have to eventually be reverted back to black after I get a warning because of the color noted on reg. Although for the wheels, I'll be able to use them every spring/summer so money won't be "wasted" there.

Any ideas? I don't mind constructive criticism either. 20 inch cool or just go up 1 to 19? Any color suggestions on wheels?

Thanks in advance.

Are you plastidipping the whole car or just the wheels?

If this is what you're thinking of then 1000x yes.

Thanks for the inspiration! I am going to try and get it done after the snow is gone and the temperatures warm up.

The whole car. It would also protect the paint for some months. Or however long i can get away with a "temporary customization" lol

I actually found a really nice set of 20 inch. But I'm currently trying to find out which specs are best for the fit of the car. I already know which tires I want as well. Hoping I can get all this done when the weather is better 60 degrees and up and no more snow. Lol

Are you doing the paint work yourself?

If you had something in mind and want to see what it looks like your car I'd be more than happy to photoshop them on.

Seriously? You're good with Photoshop like that?

I'll find the link and share it with you. Thanks

Wow man! I can just imagine in person. They look nice in the picture good job. You good at your hobby.
Thanks, if I had a bit more time I could have made the front wheels better. But wanted to give you a quicker rendering. If you want any other wheels on the car let me know.

I thought about it, but no. I rather take it to a professional shop. I know if anything comes out wrong, the shop will be liable to fix the issue.

I'm just waiting for the weather to get better. It seems like it's finally going to stop snowing, as spring is coming in late up here in NYC. lol
