Well, I've contemplated black plastidip with lapis blue. After seeing Dlirium's post, I made a trip to home depot for 4 cans. On the advice of a couple of locals, I didn't take my wheels off. I wish that I had, but I think that it's worked out.

I did 5 coats with 3 cans. I'm going to double check it one more time tomorrow, and then apply the glossifier.

Earlier this week I replace my center wheel caps with cheapos off of ebay, and yesterday I replaced the worn out three button pad on my key fob.

be very careful with the glossifier. It drips real easy and if you apply it too heavy, it leaves this foggy unclear look.

Wow, I'm glad that I checked in here first! I got the hang of light coats by the end, but definitely ended up with thicker spots with the black. I'll definitely go light coats with the glossifier.
