    Love it. 3 cans and 1 can of metallizer per wheel?

    Also, did the metallizer turn the straight black into more of a gunmetal?

    No, it was for all four wheels. And yes more metallizer you use the more gunmetal it will look. I didn't want it to start to look gray since I still wanted the darker look.

    Thanks for the tip. I have a Super White DCOR and didn't want to go full stormtrooper so what you did really interests me.

    If that's the case I'd recommend 2 cans of black and 2-3 cans of the metallizer!

    I've tried twice now to dip my Tacoma badges and messed up the coating on the inside of the letters while trying to get it off the paint inside of the letters. I'm about to try again, any tips? I guess most people are using toothpicks.

    OK... guys... the first time I tried this, I went to remove the excess way too soon...... WAIT... let it cure some before trying to pull off the "extra"... How long... I'm no expert, but longer than my first time which was about 15 minutes....

    Let it cure and dry and then peel....

    Hope this works for ya'll...

    Yeah, it's been frustrating. The guy in the YouTube video had some plastic tool he said was a part of "the kit." What kit, I have no idea. Most of us just went to our local hardware store or Walmart and picked up a can or two. In other videos on YouTube they don't explain it either.

    Tooth pick or something that will not scratch the paint is what you want...

    Like, so many.
    Dipped the wheels. I left them mounted and covered the rotors and bolts. I should have gone thicker on the overspray. Cleaning the tires was the hardest part.

    yes, it's easier and faster unless you have a lift. Putting the plastic bag to wrap the rotors only take about a minute or two.
