I did apply a good amount but didn't use the base coat so it shows a little. It's hard as a rock to peel off maybe due to not using base coat.

I don't have a problem with the color, I just think the wheels are a bit too small for the GS.

They are actually bigger than the old wheels.

Just out of curiosity, is this just plasti-dip on the wheels? or did you coat the entire car white again?
Reason I ask is because mine is heading into the shop this thursday for a plasti-dip coat. I am going to do gun metal, but was also curious to see what matte white looked like and/or what the results were for other people who did it.

No this is auto-dip it is a new competitor to plasti dip although plasti dip is still easier to use this comes out better.

Meaning it doesn't leave a textured finish?
