Default plasti dipped chrome clad 20's?

has anyone plasti-dipped the chrome clad 20's or have pics of them?
I may have a chance to pick up a set for cheap but I am not a fan of the chrome. I already have blacked out FX 18's on my truck and I like that look but would prefer the 20's because of more tire options I like.

I spent over an hour searching for pics of this and wasnt able to come up with anything other than pics of dipped 18" chrome clad wheels, not 20's

Remember to put more coats of plastidip to make it more durable.

I am considering powercoating mine the next time it needs tires. Already been researching on how to remove the plastic chrome cover and how to remove the epoxy. Whenever that time comes, I will post pics. Will be nice to see custom painted factory 20s (non FX wheels) on our trucks.

If I was going to put the time and money into such a thing as powdercoating, I would just buy new wheels. Personally, plastidip is the most I would do to dress up stock wheels.

I have plastidipped my 20 inch chrome clads with about 5 coats per wheel. They are all starting to peel away after about a month and a half. I think my next step is to go ahead and peel it all off and put regular black paint. Overall great look for covering up the chrome.

I have been wanting to do this as well, but I cant stop at the just the chrome wheels.. I would have to do the bumpers and the grill as well as the running boards! Not ready to dedicate myself to that quite yet.
