I used 6 coats. I have a bottle of clear coat as well but I think I'm gonna leave them matte. Opinion on center cap please? Keep silver or black it out as well? I kinda dig the police wheel look but I'm uncertain of how it looks and would like your feedback.

Agreed silver. Gives it some contrast with the lug nuts. Glossifier of clear coat?
If clear coat rattle can, you will have a hard time if you ever decide to peel it off.

Yeah glossifier is what I meant. :) Awesome thank you Eagle. Do you hydrodip yourself? I think I'm gonna do it again in a couple of months and on the final coats lay down a thicker layer.

I've got the kit, watched dozens of videos but haven't done it yet. My wife gave it to me over a year ago for my birthday and she rightly criticizes me for not having dipped anything yet.

Black out the caps, then take a razor blade and go around the bowtie then peel up the bowtie. I think that would look cool, and I've actually never seen it done before
