What blue plasti dip did u use? Looks good and im not a fan of plasti dip either, but I also have the time attack volks and I cant stand the color combo

The wheel color is the DYC navy blue with gloss. And for the calipers I just cleaned them well with brake cleaner, masked them off and sprayed them with the duplicolor silver caliper paint. Subtle but clean look!

Exact same thing I did to mine. It's well worth the time, and your photos show that.

it looks great! i didn't even think the wheels were plasti-dipped cause of the glossy finish. i really need to do the same with my brake calipers, i hate how dirty they look right now

Thanks man, it cost less than $10 and took less than an hour with no air tools. Well worth it.

Fantastic update!

I recently did my brakes too, but it took me 9 hours.

I had done them on the car on my previous car and the rust shone through pretty quickly. This time, I removed rotors, caliper slides, wire brushed, sanded, washed, wiped with IPA and then did high temp black caliper paint. Nice to see what the silver would have looked like.

Either way, GREAT work!
