What did I do to my car today...
Well... I messed with some wires to make sure my fans were functioning. Checked all my fuses. Overheated my car and shot coolant all over the damned place. Took apart the front of my car. Put it all back together. Properly filled the coolant. Fixed the damned overheating problem. Still can't find the small coolant leak I have somewhere.

Wasn't ready to break the wallet on a new set of wheels and tires so I decided to plasti dip my stock wheels. 2 coats of black as a base, 3 coats of vintage gold, and 1 coat of glossifier. I think it turned out pretty well. Definitely gives a different cosmetic feel from the stock gunmetal.
I used black as a base because: 1) I needed to build up a few layers of product 2) it is cheaper than vintage gold dip and 3) I had a few old cans of black laying around the house. Of course, you can build up all 4-5 layers with vintage gold; the vintage gold spreads and covers extremely well (almost as well as the black).
Amount of dip used:
~1.5 cans for 2 coats of black
A little over 2 cans for 3 coats of vintage gold
1 can for 1 coat of glossifier
Gold wheels. It's what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.
