I did mine a few weeks ago as well but with Charcoal and Glossifier. It's amazing what just a color change on wheels will do. Very happy with the way it turned out

 

Looks great! I might have to try this on all my chrome trim that I hate. This would go well with my limited edition wheels and grille.

 

Thanks a lot! Give it a shot! If ya don't like it just peel it off

 

I finally got the emblems and the grill taken care of. It looks good to me, took my time on every part. What you guys think about the plastic dip I did ? Any suggestions would be great ! I'll be doing the window trim tomorrow, but just can't figure how to do the door handles. Maybe someone can give me some tips on how to do them. Here's some pictures for you guys to see !

I like it man, digging the trunk. I recently did mine too

 

Yeah, I just seen it ! Looking nice ! I still have more to do too ! Waiting on my halos to get installed from KMONEY.

 

Nice bro....heard he does great work!

The new metal flake Anthracite (with glossifier) looks to be my first choice for the Plasti-Dip experience. Since I have a Crimson Black car it should look quite good though I did entertain the thought of the new "Vintage Gold" for just the rims and blacking out everything else.

 

I hate the chrome trim on my car. I have the limited edition with the dark wheels and grille. Do any of you guys know which would match the limited edition wheels better, the charcoal or the Anthracite? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

 

Just did mine this weekend and i love how they look

 

Looking good!

Very good work.....that completely transformed the look of your ride!!!

 

Wheels are supposed to stand out, shine, look classy. Not to be coated in a matte rubber finish.

 

To each their own Hectic. Some people like the matte look, even on their body panels.

Personally, I agree. I'm not a huge fan of the matte black wheels. I think the newer metallic plasti dip colors would look much better.

I am personally curious about the anthracite and how well it would match the limited edition wheels and grille.

 

Plasti Dip also offers a "glossifier" to add some shine to the flat colors. Something I may consider if I decide to play around with the stuff.

 

Send a PM to Maxima_Style...he did the anthacaite plastidip on his wheels, and it looks

 

we were experimenting with it earlier today. $5.95 a can.

 

You're right, the metallics would look better. I like plasti dip, but not so much the things people are using it for. Whole cars, wheels, emblems, I can see coating an entire car if the stock paint looks bad, mismatched, or experimenting with schemes, but not to create a "custom" look. No different than a primed car farting down the road IMO.

Plasti Dip definitely has its practical uses though.

 

My car is metallic slate, and soon I'll be dipping my stock wheels. I just received my shipment of the anthracite color, and I have a few cans of the glossifier too. I've never been a fan of the matte black look inside of tires that look faded and dirty and an even lighter shade than the plastidip. That look is ugly even with black painted/powdercoated wheels. I think the tires should always look darker than the wheel.

Really hoping that the anthracite turns out how I'm imagining it will. If I load it up with glossifier and keep the wheels black and wet looking, should be pretty sweet against the metallic slate color of my car.

 

 

 

Now that is surprisingly cool.

 

I was thinking about doing the gas tank as well! And how'd you get that line SO STRAIGHT! Is that dip too or vinyl???

 

too much black and charcoal up in here

 

I'm with you on the blue. Been tempted to try the white dip out.

 

It's plastidip. I used tape to line it up. This was a fun project! I enjoyed it. Now time to install cold air intake

 

*applause* That's one hell of a straight line brother!

Dipped my chrome and wheels today, think it came out dope. Used 3 cans on it.

 

Sis, not bro. Lol. Your ride is pretty slick. Lovin the rims. Where did you get that grille from?

 

My mistake, my mistake lol. And the grill I got from amazon, $66 shipped upper & lower inserts. Then popped on the nismo logo after dipping it.

 

zdawg7thgen, is the roof of your car dipped as well?

 

No just the white stripe is. It's a panoramic roof

 

Hmm amazon. Interesting. Thanks

 

Are you guys doing the lugs also? does it come off when installing the wheels?

 

There was a point in time where I went plasti crazy on my car, ended up covering 85% of the car with black dip
