Default Vintage gold plasti dip phone dials!

In case anyone wants to do this and wondering what it looks like...
I’m very happy with the way they turned out! I used a sharpie to paint over the plasti dip on caps. I plan on driving this car less than 1000 miles a year so durability is not an issue with me. Car is garage kept all the time.

Looks good, did you use the glossifier or just straight dip? It's surprisingly durable on wheels. I have it on my winter tire sent for the Subaru and it has held up great through at least the last 5 winters.

I used six coats of vintage gold and then three coats of glossifier.

Thank you, personally I think the stock wheels are the best looking wheels I’ve seen for the car

I'm a sucker for phones. Gold looks nice on that car.
