I was quite impressed with the outcome and how easy it really was to do it :D
Looks awesome! did you do black with metalizer? Iv got exactly the same wheels on my polo, going to do them with a pearl colour shift plastidip and a final coat of glossifier. Awesome finish from that

I actually just bought the plain black but it does have a little bit of a metallic sheen in it. We also did some wheels with the tyres on and it came out pretty good!

I would suggest to do them with the tyres on already, I put some tyres on these yesterday and have to do touch ups on some areas.

Post some pics when your done I think it will look really good :)

So this doesn't come off easily? The videos it looks so easy to remove, so I dont want it to come off every time I have the car washed?

it comes off easy if you put enough coats. seen a few youtube vids where the guy uses a high pressure cleaner and it doesnt take it off

I do plastidip applications, if there are 4/5 coats on the car it can last 10 years... And can be easily removed if you want it off. The thicker the product, the better. It takes a bit of doing to get it to start peeling, even then it adheres to the paintwork rather well, no residue or glue when you remove it either
