    Plasti-dip wheels

    I saw someone on here mention plasti-dipping their wheels, I thought Id have a crack.

    Relatively inexpensive and easily removed. Plasti paint was $70 from Ebay . With 4 cans and 1 glossify can.


    Took a few hours, I think they look good.

    The plast-dip is matt finish. So after you finish the 4 th coat. You choose a glossify coat. Mine is straight up gloss. But they do graphite, and all kinds of metallizer coats.

    There is a dude on YouTube that shows you how.

    Matte BLACK*4 + GLOSSIFIER (UV Protect)*1 - Performix PLASTI DIP Spray Cans 311g | eBay

    It’s very easy, though I did remove my wheels, they don’t bother.

    I didn’t want the nuts doing, and I was keen to coat the inside barrel.

    Obviously it’s your own risk, but to me the risk was $70 and a few hours.

    Yeah, that’s what the guys on the video reckons . 4 coats min. That way it comes off easily when you want to peel them back to original. The video explains it really well. Good luck

    I didnt fully watch the video but I think he didn't mention that you should put your cans in a bucket of hotish water first for at least 10 mins. It helps the paint atomize, sprays much better, clogs less and gives a smoother finish.
    I love the stuff ive sprayed bonnets and bumpers a few times, it works wonders and lasts a while if you lay down more coats. I think they make a touch up kit also IIRC
    Cheers Jim

    That’s true, he does mention it in another if his videos. I used a pan of hot tap water to help thin the spray. Got to be the easiest spray job I’ve ever done. Levels out beautifully well. I think it could become addictive!
