Glad you said that. What happened was that the driver side was plasti dip over the stock factory paint.
The passenger side was plasti dip over a recent painting (hit a curb and scrapped both rims).. The passenger side imo looks better.
Now the reason the front looks glossed compared to the back, was because both of those tires came out rough (matte) looking, so I re did the front with another layer. My guess is that made it look more glossed than the back. If I hit the back with another spray it should even it out and make both looks similar.
/e the reason I did not do the back was because in the lighting the back looked similar to the just newly sprayed front. I should have just sprayed the back anyways. Not a big deal though, its a simple fix.
/ee So I am going to actually go and respray both of those rims a few more times in about a week or two. Im guessing it was a mixture of the the rim having the stock paint + the plasti dip spray cans being bad. The other two came out smooth and look nice, these two are rough to the touch and have a few spots that after baking in the sun, relieved patchiness.
