Orange plastidipped rims and mirrors.
 
Ok so before anyone jumps the gun, you should all
know that this was done completely out of the blue.
It was unplanned. I had a few extra cans laying
around from a previous work that I had no more need
for, and seeing how I will be getting some new rims
for this baby later this month, I said to myself
"screw it let me try it out and see how it will come
out" I also went a head and did the mirrors as well.

Well here are the results! Not too shabby in all honesty.
Got a few thumbs up and it does attract more looks.

Just wanted to share :tiphat:

Looks cool and it's very temporary. In before plasti-dip is the anti-Christ drama queens

Not a huge fan but the mirrors look.... off from the front.

ufoz8mycow 03-14-2014 01:21 PM

Eh... It's not bad but I think red might have looked cooler. Good thing all you have to do is peel and its good as new.

Agree...red. The orange looks off with the red rail lights.

zeus37 03-14-2014 01:43 PM

I like it. Very cool.

6MT 03-14-2014 01:45 PM

How long will that last on those wheels?

For a very long time if they are done right. And I'm talking several months. You need to apply nearly 10 coats or more if you want it to last a very long time, specially the edges have to be done right because thats where the peeling starts.

It's not awful, but I think only Porsche can pull off this look 100%.

Codename067 03-14-2014 01:59 PM

Heres one under the shade

Grindkiezer 03-14-2014 02:09 PM

I think the front view would look a little nicer if you did the front emblem as well. To go with the mirror caps

Looks better in person. I usually park it in that specific spot or around it somewhere close, if you ever are around on weekdays.

Riptide67 03-14-2014 04:59 PM

I like the wheels!

MACSIMIZER 03-14-2014 05:08 PM

I think I have said this many times here in many different threads.

I know when one is tripping on mushrooms or has been up three nights in a row on coke that the power of suggestion can be irresistible. When in this condition, it is best to wait until you've have a few good night's sleep, some food and maybe a vitamin B-12 shot before you succumb to a friend's idea that you should maybe experiment with plasti-dip. At 4 AM.

onzedge 03-14-2014 05:45 PM

I am here to help. That is my purpose.

You are welcome.

Dwight Frye 03-14-2014 06:00 PM

It makes the wheels look like they are made of plastic rather than Plasti-dipped.

coolvans1988 03-14-2014 06:42 PM

I suggested red mirrors and red calipers... forum didn't like the idea =/ .

Wheels would be black. PW on the Z.

madwi 03-14-2014 06:49 PM

Slow clap. OP you made me look to make sure I was not on the gencoupe boards, well played. :stirthepot:

Codename067 03-14-2014 06:52 PM

I have to admit I am a little confused

cooltoy 03-14-2014 08:44 PM

Not as bad as I would have thought.

Looks Photoshopped.

Just a slight jab at plastidip on a 370. I didnt mean anything by it, just messing around. I actually dont mind the orange wheels on a black car.

looks like something a Tennessee Vols fan would do in all honesty. only thing missing is the big orange T

Cool I'll drop by and check it out one of these days. I work right on the corner on Parthenia. For me, the wheels are fine but not feeling the mirrors.

I have to respectfully disagree with you!

OP, it looks great, but be advised, one of the atlanta 350 guys did 1 wheel orange to see if he liked it, and kept it that way for a while. I don't know if he used wheel cleaner on it, or if the sun faded it, but several months later it was a dull whitish-orange. It does peel off though, so thats a plus

cooltoy 03-15-2014 09:02 PM

I knew Mike would show up in this thread eventually.;)

lt_370z 03-15-2014 09:28 PM

I like the wheels! Keep the mirrors white
