2011 SHO Dipped Grill and Rims

How many coats did you do on the wheels? Please update this thread after winter, I am curious how the wheels hold up. Also I wondr if car wash would destroy them? By the way it looks nice
 
Looks great!

By the looks I'm gonna say no glossifier, and car washes will not hurt it. Cleaning products will dull sections touched though. Well, that's my experience with the glossifier on.

Note to self: No glossifier next time.

Thanks for comments everyone. 

I did use the clear coat on the grill, but was not impressed how it orange peeled after it was fully dry, so I didn't put the clear coat on the rims.  The grill and rims took about 4 cans with 4-5 coats on each item.  I did run the car through the car wash the same day I sprayed everything, just to see if the spray would hold up on the rims and grill and did not have any issues (pretty tough stuff).  As far as winter, I live in Florida, so I won't be able to give you a good winter report other than the fishing is still good during the winter time here, LOL!!!  The one really great thing about spraying this stuff was the fact that I didn't have to mask off the tires,  after the final coat dried I just peeled off the overspray from the tire area and inside rim, which made for a very clean look.  I did take all the tires off the car, clean, wipe and blow all the residual water off with my air compressor.  I didn't take the grill off, due to being lazy (pictures attached).


Enjoy,
