I am all about plastidip...all other colors except white. White is the worst plastidip just because it turns yellow after a while and it's the hardest to keep on. Wheels def looked better before and the eyebrows are a no-no.

I don't mind the wheels. The headlight brows aren't my style but if you like them, more power to ya man. I see you also have a 4th gen fbody.

I recently dipped my wheels. Took a lot more time than expected but very happy with the results. Has anyone ever used real paint over the top of the dip? Just curious if it makes it more difficult to remove later on.

My 24s had black dip with normal clear over them and it made it so much easier to clean. It does make it a little more difficult to remove but I think the hassle it took away from cleaning was worth it
