After months of researching, finally I have pull the trigger to plasti dip the wheels in Matt black. Used 2 cans of spray, and couple hours. But I'm very happy with the result!!
Next, I will plasti dip the front kidney grill!! Before: After

Looks like a job well done
How much did you end up paying per can and how many cans did you use?

$39.90 per can and used two only. Both two cans are still 20-30% remaining.

Glad you're happy with the result! I have titanium silver too, and I really can't work out if I'm crazy enough for it to seriously go for it. I keep flip-flopping. Hrmmm.... !

Woah that's pretty expensive for each can. But still, definitely cheaper than getting them powdercoated. If I'd known about plasti-dip before I had my wheels powdercoated I might have actually tried going down this path first.
It makes me cry that in the US they can buy each can for almost US$5.00... Yes five dollars... Looks good though . Going to try gloss?

If anyone is looking on getting any plastidip, I stock it in my store, in QLD.
If you send me a PM with what you want, I can quote you up. I have access to get both the 311g cans, aswell as the 3.78L buckets. Pm me for prices if anyone is keen. Thanks, Pete |

Looks great.
How many coats did you do? Did you leave the inside unsprayed? |

Wow that's a really good finish you got... how long do you think they'll stay on for?

I wonder how this plastic dip paint will last with all the dirt grim and brake dust sitting on it?
I know for a fact some pastic can not stand any contamination or else they go sticky and rubs off gewy |

Guys any thoughts on 208M double spoke wheels being sprayed this way (black) on a black E87?
I would love to give this a go, but I am not sure how it'll look. I was thinking as the spokes are wider, it wouldn't look as cool. Also, matte black wheels on a black car, or does gloss look better (to you)? Thoughts? |

No I didn't take the wheels off. I used plastic bag to cover the entire brake rotors and calipers. I jacked up the car as well for easy application
