White paints are a funny thing. Alone, white looks white no matter what. Side by side, one will look bright, the other will most likely look off white/yellow.

Jspeers89 (OP) - did you do the anthracite? I've been debating between anthracite (with glossifier) and hyper graphite (pearl)
Also if you do anthracite, it does look a bit different after you hit it with glossifier.

Pics please if you actually went forward with the work.
Thanks.

Had to order anthracite. I'm going to do it and will post pics once it comes in.

I believe I went with the graphite metalizer color. Sprayed them black then added the metalizer. I hate black wheels but like these even though they are not too far from black

Cool stuff. I'm planning on eventually autoflexing the whole truck, but I might just plastidip the fender flares since they take even more abuse. You think that's a good match to the flares and bumpers? It looks good enough for me.

Since my first experience with plastidip didn't go "according to plan", I only got 3 wheels done. So I have an asymmetrical truck right now. 4 coats of black, followed by the 2 coats of pearl graphite.

This is my bronco I plastidip the rear bumper and lower rear body panel. It hold up very well for almost 3 years in NY winter.
I did the wheels too but cannot find pics.
