Bronze or Anthracite Grey plasti-dip for stock wheels?

[Brick]

So, I promised myself I would get new tires and wheels after maybe a year or two. With that said, I just painted my calipers gold.
My ebay shorty antenna turned bronze after several weeks and I said hey.... that looks pretty damn good.... i bet the wheels would look good to.

Example of the bronze I plan to achieve.

Example of grey.

I was thinking of dipping the mirror covers the same color.






Whatcha guys think?

As mentioned elsewhere, Anthracite grey just looks good and isn't a radical departure from stock either. My vote goes there.

I agree. the darker grey would look good on the lighter silver FiST

Yup. Trying to find a dip that will tint and not totally obscure the rado, kind of translucent. My OxWhite will rock anthracite like a good little storm trooper

Dark grey. It looks great and also hides brake dust better. Unless you're one of those people who cleans your wheels everyday.

With the gold calipers I'd go with a dark color like charcoal or black.

I'm kinda surprised at the results so far (no votes for bronze) but in a way I am not. The more I look at the grey, the more I like it.

I have both colors coming in, so i'll be able to make a decision at the last moment

Bronze looks good though it won't provide a nice contrast to you gold calipers.

Do the bronze so I can see how it would look on my PB!

hope this helps

Not PB, but wheels are bronze.

I should have them dipped by the 4th of July. I will do a base coat of black before doing the grey and bronze.

If I go bronze, it will be darker than this hopefully.

That's almost copper, that color might look better on my car. Are those A10 wheels?

i'm thinking this color. I'll spray a spare wheel I have and do a test coat to see what I get. Otherwise anthracite grey is the easier answer.

Played with plastidip this weekend. This color required a perfect single coat of copper metalizer over black... and I wasn't perfect...haha, but I really do like the color. It changes depending on how the light hits it. At least now I know I will be ordering bronze colored wheels when the time comes. The anthracite grey is a cool color. Maybe I would dip my mirror caps, lower rear bumper and the front portion of the bumper... but that's a lot of work

That would look awesome on my Tuxedo black!

Ive been thinking bronze in my PB car as well.

Unique and awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Bringing this thread back from the dead. This is the 3 coats of Anthracite over 4 coats of black plastidip. Pardon me, on how dirty the car is.

That is a sick color man! Props for that creation! Would like to dip my stockers as they have a ton of road rash that needs to be sanded down and prepped. I have G1 Black paint code and I thought this would be a nice color between your Bronze and Anthracite! https://www.dipyourcar.com/collecti...ducts/brass-monkey-aerosol?variant=5631654340
I'm looking for subtle look to stand out from the Black paint.

Brass Monkey. It will be better if you go with the copper 1 coat as the forum member said.
