Another Plasti Dip Creation

Was totally inspired by M_BYEEE's plasti dipped creation that i just had to give it a try. Here is my version of his design. Exaggerated the widths of the stips a little more and used a brilliant bronze pearl from Kandy Pearls with the plasti dip paint as well as a few coats of glossifer.
What do you all think? Not too bad for a girl....right?

It's unique that's for sure, just not a fan of the wheels.

Two thumbs up!

I'd totally give something like this a go if I'd had more forethought and not gotten TiAg.

Out of curiosity, did you do the same thing to the other side, or is it only on the passenger side?

Looks really good! Just not a fan of the wheels. Also, the big stripe towards the front seems a bit off to me, I don't know what it is.

Thanks for the feedback. I think the line looks like because of the angel i took the photo from. I was trying to get the trunk as well as the design.
Question, did you not like the style of the wheels or the color? They are actually powder coated and not dipped.

Yeah the color is neat. The style of the wheels just simply do not match the car.

It looks really good! I saw it pop up on instagram someone who knows my car tagged me in it. I was going to say, hey that looks familiar haha. Great job though. I love the bronze on black. I wanted to get my wheels resprayed in a similar bronze when I had my 1 but never got around to it.

It's the color of the wheel for me. A bit too much for me. It may look different/better in person though. I'd like to see some more pictures of the front of the car as well

I like it, dare to be different I say. And actually this is probably among the best Plati-Dipped projects I have seen.

BTW - LOVE the wheel color, wow! Mind sharing WHAT bronze specifically was used on them? I think that exact bronze shade powdercoated on a rim with a polished lip, on a white car would be

Yah, im the same person. I sent Bimmer_Girls the photo. I never wanted to take credit for your design or "steal" it as you said on IG. As I said in the original post it was YOUR design that it stemmed my version of it.
Just wanted to create a different look with the new Plasti Dip Pearls that have recently come out.

Hope there are no hard feelings.

Thanks! I really appreciate the positive feedback
I have to give credit to Kandy Pearls and their crazy assortment of pearls they have come out with. The Plasti Dip world has really come a long way from the matte black.

And thanks for the complement on the wheels. Not too many people seem to dig it. Anyways its a bronze burst powder coat. Thats actually what i wanted to do initially (polished lip) but these wheels were actually Hot Pink with a polished lip and the shop i got them from offered to powder coat the wheels for free but it had to be the whole face....I couldnt say no.

I figured you did, since it hung down pretty low, that's why I asked. What brand is it?
