Plasti-dip strikes again!

So i used 1 can of plasti dip and it took me about 3 hours to do all 4 wheels. I took them off, taped them up and then sparayed 3 coats of the plasti-dip. Now the after picture was just taken after 2 weeks of being on the rim, so it's been through rain and washes. So overall it's held up really nicely.

Thanks guys. I really thought about doing my roof with it but i think over large surfaces you won't be able to get an even finish. The plasti dip is almost "goopy" that it might come out uneven. Regardless, on a smaller scale it LOOKS SICK!!

The black rims really do suit that color of paint.

Is plasti-dip the stuff that you can remove down the line to reveal the original finish?

Looks Sick!!! I'm gunna try this mod, I have the same wheels only on a Silver Jeep. Where did you get the paint and is it just all flat black like that or do they make a glossy one??? It looks awesome!

Also, what did you clean your wheels with before you painted? Anything in particular? Thanks!!!

Its called plastidip. Comes in spray cans, just pick it up at homedepot or whichever hardware store you use. It is just flat black, but maybe if you use clear coat after you'd get a glossy finish? not sure about that. but just clean your wheels like you'd usually do. nothing fancy.

No, you'll need at least four cans. The can says 30-40 minutes in between coats i think. official drying time is like 4 hours. do lots of thiner ones, you don't want overspray, because it'll run. just don't hold spray button when painting, do strokes where you spray and let go. if that makes sense... we don't mind questions, hit us with more if you have em! :thumbsup:

Yes! It makes sense deff!! Thank you so much! I'll have to post pictures, its suppose to be in the 60s up here in Albany this weekend so i'll take advantage. You guys said Home depot carries this stuff? Also is it all just flat or is there a glossy version too?? This is really got me pumped considering I was gunna eventually just get the wheels powdercoated. $12 dollars verses $150 a wheel, I'll go $12. lol
