Looks like another spray on removable coating like plastidip but this company has a clear coat that is very shiny and makes it look like actual paint that's reflective.

I've only heard good things about it.

Friend of mine sprayed his car with this twice, once in white, second time in a metallic green. He cleaned it with all purpose cleaner which was kinda cool. He wrapped his newest car instead of dipping it, and I think it looks MUCH better wrapped than Dipped. But Paint still looks better than the wrap.

1. OEM Paint

2. OEM Paint

3. Halo White

4. Halo Green (not sure the name)

5. New car Wrapped

It's too bad he couldn't find rims that fit.

lol Yeah not my choice for wheel sizes and I tell him that almost every time I see him. But, he would rather modify the fenders to make them fit than get smaller wheels. Personally I'd have left his car gold with the old wheels, Cruising to shows with Gold and Silver cars was kinda cool. But, at the end of the day it's his car, so their his choices.









Funny I'm saying that though, because I'm going to fit them to my A8L soon to see how they fit and to better understand what I can and can't run. I've seen 2 A8's with a full set of Lamborghini Cassiopeia's in 19x8.5/11 with little-no camber. So his 18x8.5/10.5 should fit... Right? It's all gonna come down to the offsets.

Definitely Thread Jacked lol

I'm more worried about the fact that his tires are about 4" too narrow. What are those, 235's on an 11?

He said he was running 235/35 on the front and 285/30 in the rear, in the previous pic they appear smaller than they are..
