plasti dipped my wheels.. first time using this stuff

[stevo_EF91]

looked around and found a few different ways to apply this stuff. i opted just to leave the wheels on the car... used a trash bag to cover the rotor and caliper...

just wiped the wheels down .. no other prep work.

when applying i really didnt think this stuff was going to work... i had to apply like 6-7 coats before i started to get an even full looking finish.

the nice part about doing this was cleaning up the over spray. just peel that crap off :)

ill role around like this for a while then test out spray painting over the plasti dip to see if i can still peel it off with a coat of paint over the top of it.

I think I would of covered up the lugs... not my car though. Overall the car looks good.

[Sammich]

LOL at the lugs...i mean..it looks good until a socket gets on them bitches

[stevo_EF91]

lol yea i didnt bother taping off the lugs... going to get new tires soon so when i take off the wheels i was gonna peel the dip off of them.

How does it hold up to dirt? Been wanting to do mine white for awhile now.

Nice job. Plasti-dip is great stuff, I've done it on my bbs 1-2 yrs ago. Very durable; light pressure wash and it will still hold. It only comes off when you need it to come off- by simply peeling it. I plan on doing it this winter as well just to prevent grime and potentially the salts that might be on the road between Dec - Feb.

I plastidipped my whole car. Caught some hell on IA, but it's a cheap easy way to get a temporary color change. I would advise you not to spray paint on top of it though. When you do that, it flakes off instead of peeling. it's still possible to get it off, just a LOT more work.

Doesn't look too bad. I've seen all kinds of plasti-dipped wheels but I do believe this is the first white plasti-dip job I've encountered. Props for being a little adventurous.

you could have done it in the grass...

The over spray on the drive way came off by rubbing it with a rag

Yep, I spent less than $400 total, including alot of extra stuff I ended up not needing, and an airless sprayer.

I'm going to do this to my motorcycle wheels in a few weeks. Looked at a bunch of car and trucks with it done and it seems like a good and quick way to change colors.
