Thanks mate.
Only problem with is was we ran out of plastidip, so it was way to thin on the sides, which caused it to rift after just a month. (Problems with new delivery) We are contemplating opening a business doing this here in Norway, just going through the test phases with the product. We are anxious to see how it goes with the varying climate as way as road salt that is used in the cities during winter. |

plastidipped
I used 2 full spray cans and half that I had left over from dipping the emblems... so approximately it covered 4 coats for the 4 rims.. it might need the other half for touch ups.
I still cant post pictures!! here's the link anyway: http://photobucket.com/blackoutrims Last edited by patrickyazon; 11-06-2012 at 05:59 PM. |

I bought 4 cans, and I'm sure I have 1/2-1/3 can left out of each of them (I used one can per wheel). So I could have got by with a little more than 2 cans total.
And I'm not sure how in the heck someone can use half a can for 4 coats! I did about 12 light coats for each half can that I used, I was paranoid of paint drips/runs. |

I used 4. I put about 6 layers. The first layer should be light. By the 3rd layer, that is when it will start to look about right. If you mess it up, peel it off and start over. |

dipping Emblems made easy
Emblems are pretty straight forward.. just put some masking tape around the emblems about 1 inch from it and just spray away...wait about 5 to 10 mins in between coats depending on the outside temp..
There's tons of video on you tube.. but here a some tips.... Tip 1: it would be better to spray it on thick about 4 coats, since it would be easier to peel away the over spray and clean up.. Tip 2: for peeling off and cleaning up the over spray inside the letters/emblems, to get it started, a toothpick will work fine, but I also found out the those wooden Chopsticks works pretty darn good too....either way is fine. Tip 3: Remember to peel away from the emblems...not towards you! Good luck! |

I'm going to plastidip my emblems and side "WRX" badge thing, but thinking about doing my door handles too. Searched a little bit but couldn't find any pictures of it, so not sure how the handles will look.
