What did you do to your 991 turbo today?

We are, supposedly, getting our first snow tonight...
Yesterday was the first day below zero this winter.

(Ignore the overspray, work in progress)
Plasti-dipping my wheels to bronze, I was a little concerned that losing the two tone wouldn't work but so far I love them.

Those look really good, how much of a can did you use?

6 ozs per wheel, you may want to re-balance the wheels once your done.

Gotcha, even coating probably won't be noticeable either - until you hit triple digits...

Found this online...looks like only a few ounces by weight.
https://erapaints.com/discussion-spr...nt%20per%20can.
-Reducer & propellant: 8.5 oz by volume
-Paint/primer/clearcoat: 3.5 oz by volume
As you can see, reducers and propellants are the majority of contents by volume (and weight), not only in spray paints but also for primers and clearcoats. Our specifications call for 100 grams (3.5 oz by volume) of paint per can. And the canning system we (and our competitors) use will allow a maximum 3.5oz volume of paint to be dispensed, and we tend to ‘fill to the brim’ the dispensing cap with paint. The weight by volume of liquid paint will vary depending on how thick (viscous) the paint is (this is why some cans will appear to have ‘less’ paint/primer/clearcoat in them.
Here are the total (gross) weights of our products:
-Spray paint (12 oz by volume): approx. 13.5 oz gross weight
-Primer and Clearcoat (10 oz by volume): approx. 14 oz gross weight

What you are getting when you purchase a spray can
So what are you getting when you purchase 12 ounces of ‘paint’ from us or one of our competitors (even auto parts stores offerings)?-Reducer & propellant: 8.5 oz by volume

That's interesting - so if I am reading that correctly, 8.5ozs is propellant and the remainder is paint?
I just went and had a look at my summer tyres/wheels, they have been balanced with 1/4oz weights stuck to the inside of the rim, different numbers of them for each wheel, but only in one spot.

So far it looks like I can get 4 wheels out of my can, so it really doesn't seem to take much. I have three extra cans in the kit I bought... (eyes Cayenne in garage)
