Plasti dip wheels/grill/emblems/rear spoiler

What's better to do;


Use plasti dip to do all the above?

or just plasti dip the above minus the rims. Paint them instead?

or should I leave the chrome alone and just paint the rims black?

Have a blue G37S

What will look better finish/look wise

Depends on your taste

Orange contrasts with blue nicely if you use the right shade. I wouldnt plasti the rims because its very dull looking. So i would plasti the grille, and embles and have the rims powder coated. If you like the look of the plasti dip grill and emblems you could have them painted later.

After looking at pics after pics and friends/gf opinion they think and I makes car look cheap if you do everything. I think I'm gonna keep all the chrome emblems/grille/spoiler alone and just do the rims gloss black but paint them. Iv'e painted rims before and they held up fine and looked nice. Clean,sand, primer, color, clear and patient and light coats is the trick.
