so it's underway. I am also re painting all my calipers with paint and a brush instead of the spray paint to get a bunch of little spots I missed. I'm putting 3 or 4 coats of the caliper paint on so I never have to worry about them coming off. So here is everything apart and underway with the vette up on all fours. Will post a pic in a few days once it's all done!

So what did you decide on using, paint or plastidip ?? As far as sticking to chrome I did my Camry emblems over 2 years ago and no problems if that helps.

I'm not a big fan of yellow, but I do have a soft spot for yellow cars done tastefully with black accents. I say go for it.

I agree with having the accents tastefully done as they tend to look like bumble bees if overdone. I debate what to do next with mine daily

To each their own. Personally I think the high contrast looks good on any car/combo. Generally speaking black accents make cars look much tougher, while bright makes them look more sophisticated. Simply put - which appeals more to you?

Sorry it's been a while, haven't had that much time lately. So i first plasti dipped the wheels to see how I would like them and ended up loving it. So I decided to peel it off right away and then paint them. I really love the outcome. I think the wheels especially with the red in background from the brakes really looks great.
