My brother plasti-dip to paint his rims a few weeks ago then painted the plasti-dip gold. When he wants a different color he'll just peel it off and repaint it. I must say they came out pretty good. What do you all think?

 

Just had another thought see my next post below

 

i think i may do this when im done w/ purple...thought they only had black available in stores...

 

paint it with plasti dip- then paint over the plasti dip with spray paint- endless colors and finish and it can be peeled off when you get sick of the look.

Can have multiple rim colors time after time

 

That looks so sick, makes me wanna paint my G35 rims

 

Looks nice, personally I would have went with a WRX STI bronze color.

 

Looks nice, ive read alot of info on plasti dip, seems like some very durable stuff.

 

I was planning on plasti dipping my 5.5 gen wheels as soon as it gets nice out good job came out fantastic I'm wondering what color other then black I should do for the color of my car

 

i love it

 

My friend did his Challenger.

 

wheels look dope! I want those 350 wheels, want to paint em white

 

I had this same thought but on my 4runner and have yet to do it so its nice to have confirmation that others have done it and it works well...

 

That's a really cool idea. Also, diggin' the front plate - does md really offer plates like that? or is that just a regular md plate all chopped up?

 

For the Record, Plastidip is available online in custom colors, and at Lowe's.

It Is also Extremely Durable.. My friend with the challenger has had hims rims done for over a year now. Still perfect.

 

How easy does peel off

 

Thought it was gonna look bad when I clicked on the topic. it looks pretty good.

Wonder if its gonna peel though. Thats the problem.

 

Easy Enough.

No. It Won't The only issues you'll have is from gravel roads. Which I live in the middle of BFE and we have those here. Even then it will just appear as curb rash.

Just trust me and do it damnit.

 

The plsti-dip by it's self looked good, almost like a black gun metal. But it's not a bad idea, confuse people and say you have 1000 different colored rims lol

 

look up plastidip removal on youtube, you'll see how easy it is to remove

 

+1

 

Will do sir. I didnt even think of that.

 

Those look very nice

 

yup, this stuff has recently got on our board as well (zx2). a member did his whole car with it, and it actually looked ok. used about 8 cans on our little car (he said 3 light coats total). i'm thinking about spraying my hood and wheels with it

 

How much did it take to do a set of wheels? (how many cans/containers?) Is it in spray cans or what? (what's the application process?)

 

My friend Josh used 5 Cans on his challenger. But he also did emblems, fuel door, ect.

 

My brother only used one can on all 4 rims and just did his timing cover with the same can yesterday.

 

What size were the rims, and how many coats did he do?

The Challenger has 18" Rims, and he did 3 Coats IIRC.

 

The rims were 18's and he only used one coat.

this guy is ghey but shows what colors u can do with this product

 

Ahh, Yeah; we live out in BFE so he was afraid of gravel roads and **** chewing them up.

 

is he in the paint business now?
he could rob a bank and just peel the paint off i want 50% off the ****** for the idea. oh wait, it's vqphantom we're talking about. never mind....

 

what a coincidence
i did the EXACT thing with the EXACT rims LOL on my 4th gen also
plasti dip FTWWW everyone thinks they are powdercoated loll

If you want a more glossy look, could you actually clear coat plastidip? If so, would it still peel off easily?

 

stuff is nice! easy to spray, re-do, and cures quick. couple of coats and it seems durable.

 

I am under the assumption you can even spray paint over the plasti dip and it should be able to peel away just as easy.

In theory, you can have any color rims you want.

 

@ the op, not a fan of the gold but overlooking the color i think it looks nice

seems inexpensive and easy but exactly how much does it cost and how easy is it? might put that on my list of things to do

 

Looks half way decent actually.

 

Ive heard that you have to wait for the plastidip to completely dry before painting over it otherwise it changes the paint and wont peel off.

 

don't spray too many coats, guys. mine look like swiss cheese a bit (tiny, tiny holes). maybe it was the user-error. i'll have to redo them anyway. the stuff is pretty strong after 2-3 coats. think of it as a bra for your bumper. thick enough coats should respond well to rocks (don't go mudding or off-roading tho lol) and other daily-driving obstacles.

 

Im debating blacking out my car, again lol. What do yall think?

Yay, or nay.
