Gloss black 280 alloys

[JACUPRA280]

Anyone thought about trying plasti dip on them?

Standard finish it looks matte but you can then add glossifier which makes it a gloss finish. If you hate it.... Just peel it off.

Heard about it and watched videos but never considered it. I might get some interior bits done at some point.

I did my grille on my VRS. Looked excellent....far better than the chrome and lasted as long as I had the car.

How easy is it? Is it durable? I'd like to do the front and rear SEAT badges. Chrome to gloss black.

Very easy indeed and lasted 3 years without a mark and probably still looks good but I sold the car last year.

Update pictures

Just picked her up! Got to say I'm extremely happy with the way she's looking . So just to confirm what I've had done - alloys sprayed gloss black and the front lip done gloss black. I've embedded some pictures below but will take some better ones when the sun is shining!

They do look good

front lip sets it off nicely too! Need to get a move on getting mine done now.

I know

I'm going to have the rear grey plastic apron done gloss black next and probably the matte plastic trim on the front of the car. Was going to book the rear diffuser in as well but I think it would just get really badly stone chipped.

I like the black wheels a lot.... Very similar to my old vrs blackline. Very tempted to do my multi spokes.

They look great on your white car, but on mine I need the alloys to be grey/silver so I will just have to keep parking next to kerbs very carefully.

I park mine on the street (permit parking) so I have to be careful of kerbs too. Agree that on a black car you need lighter alloys. Personally would go for dark anthracite if you get them done.

That looks unreal! I have been dabbling with the idea of getting my wheels done exactly the same for months now but was always a bit nervous of ruining them.

However my mind is now made up. I recently just got all my badges and grills done gloss black too with the rear valance and diffuser done too. Take a look on my Instagram buddy 'DavidSanderson.

They did a SMART repair on the Mrs alloy and it is spot on

I think it looks great with the black roof and front lip. Really impressed.

Not sure I would do it to mine as I really love the grey/silver and 18 months in they look pretty good still, but if I get to the point where I have to I can see myself going the same way.

Fair enough, I never liked the alloys as they were. Black alloys suit the car more IMO. Is your Cupra white like mine?

EDIT - Sorry just seen yours is Dynamic Grey. Nevermind haha.

Can you post pics in here for us Luddites who have no clue on Instagram?

 

[DavidSanderson]

Of course mate! Pictures below, I am not sure how to blur out my registration but if someone could do that for me I would really appreciate it!

For the rear valance, is that wrapped gloss black? How much was it or did you do it yourself?
