Anyway, good luck with the PlastiDip OP. I don't know anything about it personally but from the pics, it looks pretty good and if it holds up well, even better!

^^^ This I did my wheels March 4th of this year they still look good and clean easy. I did three heavy coats on each wheel though so maybe that has something to do with it. |

My rims have been plasti dipped for 4 months... and all i drive on is back roads holds up fine. Plus you can peal it off when ever you like and paint them a diffrent color. Nothing wrong with experimenting with stock rims

the plasti dip will not come off. i painted my foglight bezels with it and they were on the car for almost a year and a half and there wasnt a single chip. also painted my sti splitters with it and scraped stuff 100s of times and it never came off. very durable stuff.

I'll just go straight off the plasti-dip website.

Moral of the story, don't knock it till you try it. People would be surprised if they realize how many spray paints were the same but branded as something special. |

I've painted dirt bike rims with this and they easily last 6 months of hard rocky riding(where normal paint only lasts a few weeks).

My wheels are still looking good as new after a week.
One of the points of this thread is to show what your wheels look like plastidipped. So please post those pics to let others know what it looks like. @Pineapple Devil: Especially those white ones, that sounds awesome. |

I love the look but also question the durability. Please keep us updated with any issues.

I did, but I took the wheels off of the car. But I know some people do it with the wheels still on the car. Just make sure that you do a good job masking and it should work just fine. Also, if you get some of the plastidip on the tire, it doesn't really matter, because it's black and it rubs right off.

Did you spray both sides of the wheel? Or did you mask off the back and spray just the outer face that you would see?

To mask rims VERY fast as easy. Take a deck of playing cards. Stick 1 card in between the rim and tire, one after another. So basically you have built a 30 second "wall" and you will never have to worry about getting paint/plasti dip on your tires.
Now to address the other issue. DO NOT PAINT YOUR RIMS WHILE THEY ARE ON YOUR CAR-----YOU ARE SPRAYING YOUR BREAKS WHEN YOU DO THIS. IT IS VERY BAD TO PAINT YOUR BREAKS!!!! oh and jerk- thanks man, i agree, people who have no experience cannot comment on this because they have no experience |
