Looks cool. Did you use glossifier? Looks like the finish is a bit shiny.

No I didn't use glossifier. It definitely looks glossier then my Blazer rims though when they are side by side. I used the same cans for those cars too. I did put it on one but didn't like how it looked.

Looks good now do that chrome trim to match and tint the glass.

Also, what kind of car is that? Its got a jaguar look to the headlamps... and a Kia look to the rest of it...

The car is a 2015 Mazda 6. I'm leasing the car so I don't want to put money into tint. If I wasn't then yes I would tint the windows dark. Here are 2 better photos....

Default wow!

I was going to ask "what kind of beautiful automotive design?" is that just like ohsofly! I just love the big swoop in the front fender and into the front door! I'd put a wing on the back maybe, but then again it doesn't need that because your eye is drawn to the big swoop on the front. Gorgeous!

Also, I think the rims look really good in black. I think that if I was just wanting them to be black this is a good solution. If I was just pissed off because of brake dust build-up, I would have changed the brake pads. Also, I wonder how long do you think this type of treatment will last? This is the spray on or dip in type coating you might use on a wrench or other tool, right?

I wonder if the Mazda6 available in AWD. Anyway, I can't afford a used Lexus IS250 really so this may be an alternative. Heading to mazda.com right away, thanks!
