Did you use glossifier ? Looks like you did but I thought I'd ask anyway.

Looks good! I'm debating this. Or black on my 20's, especially since I scraped a wheel recently.....

Yeah, 4 coats each wheel. Not as glossy as I'd expected. The OEM is way more glossy. I'd say the Glossifier gives it a satin over the matte.

Coincidently the anthracite matches closely to the OEM step bars, the anthracite being a touch darker.


I did my exhaust in black PD too

Well, stupid me put Turtle Wax Tire Coat on them to make it look more shiny and it started to look bad and was almost impossible to remove. While trying I peeled an edge off and had to peel it all off.

The exhaust is still great. It gets dirty being behind the wheel but the PD is hanging strong.

Now I have the wheels PD in black. Put some 303 on them for the pics. Adds a little satin shine and takes away the rubbery finish. Doesn't last long after driving. Once it stops raining everyday and I wash my truck I'm going to try some Chemical Guys VRP on them. It's water-based so it should work fine.
