    It's pretty close. I'm doing this from my phone, so I hope it works, if not I'll attach the picture again tonight when I get home.

    Mine bubbled, I got impatient while spraying.., so I'll be redoing it when it gets warmer, but this should give you an idea...

    Are the satinizers and glossifiers plasti dip too or are they just an acrylic or something? Thinking of spraying the hood for anti glare

    I'm positive the glossifier is from Plasti-dip. I used it this summer. I've no idea about the satinizer.

    I put three coats of glossifier on over anthracite dip, the last two being heavy. I'd call it more of a semi gloss or eggshell really, somewhere back in this thread you can see it, I took pics and attached them. One being a real close up in the sun.

    I think the color is spot on. I used Rustoleum Clear Coat Enamel on it.

    Something I did noticed when I plasti diped my Grille It looks noticeably whiter then the stock color in the SUN. But after a few weeks it seem like it faded a bit to match the paint. I never cleared over my Grille(I have plans to redo it and clear it.)

    I did clear my Bumper after about 2 hours of sun baking the plasti dip. Color looks great to me.

    How many cans of platidip would it take to do wheels? I looked online and they (Plasti Dip) suggest 4. I can't imagaine puttin g an entire can on 1 wheel, right? Anyone who's done it and has some insight, would be appreciated.

    Maybe 1/2 to 3/4 of a can for full coverage per wheel. A whole can? I don't think so.
