Did a few pieces of Plasti-Dip around the window trim, rain guards, door handles, grille and emblems. I did this because I wanted to change the color of the rims and the chrome handles didn't go with the color scheme.

Wow ! You know, I've wondered how black dip would look on emblems against a black car. Now I know it looks great! So does everything else you've done, btw. Great job!

Yes, the rim color is a custom dip and the caliper color is mixture with copper and gray base.

to me, I think the original wheel color looks better. The copper draws all the focus to the wheels, while the original wheel color made the body and the lines of the car stand out.

Said it before and i'll say it again. That is one clean azz M45.

Do you mind sharing the mixture? Would love to do that to my wheels.

A very nice look indeed! :yesnod The Y34 has a unique, instantly recognizable, look ... and your changes make it even more interesting.

Just today, I was up in San Francisco and the parking garage had another Brilliant Silver Y34 M45 there and my son pointed it out from a long-distance away. Modern cars look too bland and soap-dish rounded to me now.
