Tesla Model Y Mod: Ugly Gemini Wheel Covers Get Spray Painted Matte Black

The Tesla Model Y has enjoyed nearly two months out on the roads now. Since the electric vehicle’s launch, drivers have been quite open in sharing their insights and reviews of the Model Y. Now that drivers have had some time with the car, we’re seeing more and more custom modifications. In one such project, a new video from Ryan Wallace highlights an interesting mod to the Gemini wheels. Let’s take a look at this new video showcasing the process of spray painting the Model Y wheels.

As the video starts, it’s clear that the goal here is to see what the Gemini wheels might look like with a black finish. The project at hand surely offers only a temporary solution. In any case, the project offers some fun insights into the process of customizing the Model Y wheels.

Once installed on the Model Y, it’s clear that the spray paint is clear and consistent. While this is certainly not a professional paint job, the black wheels do provide some contrast on the vehicle. When placed on a white Model Y, the contrast in style is that much more apparent. As the video reiterates, using high-quality paint and performing sufficient coats are keys to pulling off such a convincing look.
