Not sure if anyone here has dipped their alloys, but if your concern is whether it will work, you don't need to worry, they'll be fine. Have a look at some of these videos to get you started. -------------------- and then I found 5 bucks! EC Affiliate Mall! Shop online and the club benefits!

Thats what I was originally going to do but i decided to just go all the way. Eventually I'm going to take of the chrome inserts and just have them black, the remove the black and just dip the chrome inserts. It's super easy!!! -------------------- A proud member of the club.
