Don't bother with plastidip. With the ligher colors, brake dust will embed itself in the dip and it'll look shitty after a couple weeks. Ask me how I know :bertstare:

Do the duplicolor stuff, it's super easy and like I said, their bright silver will look very close to stock

If you use the glossifier over the color, the brake dust won't be so bad.

EDIT: Or if you use spray wax after the base color, that will help as well.

The sanding discs for my sremel work real well. They are just slow. I'm hoping with out paint on them they will clean up faster

worst case we can do something to make them look better if they look shitty raw

Worst case is I plastic dip them and buy something used ASAP

Oe 20s are easier cus there is not a huge center cap that you have to try to match.
