Hey guys,
I just got my car back from the Powdercoater, I got my 19" wheels powdercoated, and am VERY happy with how they came out.
I also plastidipped my front grill, mirrors, and rear diffuser. Here's a few pics.
Cheers!

I like it as well. Sort of a "stealth" look. Had a 71 GTO that we painted gloss black and all the trim and wheels matte black with tinted windows. It was very intimidating.

Rims look great. Most other manufacturers are offering dark rims on their sport models... Audi should be too on this car.

Q for you on the grill...
What did you do to cover the homelink "plug" right next to the Audi rings?

I'm thinking about covering our grill as well and I just wonder what to do with the homelink plug; cover it with painter's tape?
BTW, everything looks great!
I may try to do the same with the wheels, but with plasti-dip. I've been testing blends out and 3 coats of black and then 2 of smoke seems to get a similar color as your wheels.

I had not even thought of coating them and would much prefer to put the $$ to suspension mods ... not a fan of the OEM Peelers.
How much and who does this kind of work?
Thanks!
