    Looking to plasti-dip my hubcaps probably this weekend. Did you only use the flat black spray or are you also adding gloss? I will post pics if I do. I have Metallic Gray so will be black on dark color and maybe how mine looks will help you.

    I used the flat black with not gloss on my wheels. Neti has the hubs done and his look great w/ black on black.

    I used flat black on mine with no gloss. Neti did his hubs, not sure about flat or gloss, but his look great as well.

    Flat with no gloss here as well.

    Honestly it is tough as nails and protects your wheels all winter. Absolutely awesome.

    Took the plunge and I really like them...3 cans at $5.98/each from Home Depot. About 5-6 coats.

    Happy to answer questions, I am a super nube so I took pics along the way and I hope it lasts/peels off okay.
    Now updating profile pic.
    Gcoop and ztanos, what did you use to tint?

    The black wheels look great with trim and window tint. Looks very nice.
