Took a whole 5 gallon bucket. Plus 5 gallons of thinner... But at 250$ for the 5 gallon, and 50$ worth of thinner... No better bang for your buck. And if I get tired of it, for another 300$ I can change it to white or whatever else I want. I think Matte white is next.

300 bucks is it! My hood needs to be repainted and would probably cost that! Damn! I think I've found my tax return project.

I've been thinking of doing my wheels. Just sceptic of using plastic dip vs paint.

ive done all of my badges and i did my rims as well. i find the dip is hard to clean for dirt and mud and you cant scrub it hard or it peels off. the rims looked really good but are peeling on the edges and i will eventually paint them now that im sure i like the look.
the badges have held up better but also have one solid coat and arent cut and styled like the rims were.
i think its a perfect option for temporary paint fixes and experimental changes. depending on the location and how its used it may or may not hold up as well.
