Wheel Project Idea.

I'm going to run this wheel during winter. I was thinking of having the wheel face painted gun metal in color. I saw someone DIY this color on a set of BBS RK's using only Wurth spray or something. Remarkably (for a can) it turned out very well. But then I saw this video below and though it might be cooler. Basically a black vinyl wrap applied with a heat gun. Maybe the carbon finish instead of straight black vinyl.

I'm thinking of doing the 'Porsche' door decals. I see that Suncoast Porsche sells a set for $130. So the black might play well. I'm also considering wrapping the side mirrors and air intakes in 3M Di-Noc carbon wrap. Inexpensive and decent winter protection that can be easily reversed. Nice change of pace after 11 years too.
