[Halon]

So I had dipped my wheels a couple months ago, but hated how it turned out. I dipped them charcoal with pearlizer over the top. Ended up just looking cheezy and inconsistent with the pearl overcoat. So I peeled it all off and told myself I'm only doing single stage colors now.

I bought a test can of the silver mettalic and the anthracite metallic. I tested them on my spare set of FD wheels. Had a hard time choosing but I was leaning towards the silver since I think it just looks clean and unassuming, which fits what I'm going for with this car. However I already kind of know what silver looks like on the car, so I went ahead and bought anthracite. I got the rears done, I think it gives it a much more aggressive look which is kind of cool. I also went from 5mm spacers to 10mm spacers in the rear as well, along with longer studs.

I like how it looks, more aggressive. I'll get the fronts done eventually as well. Then will just see how I like them. If I decide I liked silver better, I'll just buy silver and spray right over it.

Here's a few pics. Before shot of the rears (car on dyno). Then a couple after shots. Also a pic of my silver/anthracite test wheels
