If the car was glossy it'd look better for sure but since it has a matte/satin finish the photoshop stands out more. Still not bad for a 15 yr old that's barely learning lol.
Serious though I went lower in the front

Those look great man. I think with your car being silver, they would look better having more black in them than white.

But you said they are just advertisement for you, and that you're selling them so...

Looking forward to your next ones!

Thanks man. They are actually silver. Same color as the car. It's just the lighting making it look white.

That looks really cool though

How hard is it to peel the entire car? Or did you just spray over it?

When I clean dip off my wheels it was such a bitch!
You either need to spray more dip or use a solvent like goo gone and then pressure wash

Ya I should have tried some goo gone or something similar.

I sprayed enough for it to come off the main face of the rim.

But those little spots where the front wraps around to the back, or the corners of the spoke is where it was a bitch!

Places where wind and sand erode the dip make it too thin to peel.

I ended up sanding them down in the spring because there were some spots where some oxidation was building up under the factory paint and causing it to bubble, and you could see it through the dip if you looked hard enough.

But I want to do a dark bronze colour this spring. Ill just use like 3 cans per wheel

If your setup is big enough, I think that pattern would look awesome on the side skirts and lips!

I think you should hydro the skirt next. I think it would look really good with the patter you put on those wheels!
