How many cans did you end up using?

Everest · 07-03-2015, 08:28 PM

They look much better, don't look as blurry as the original.

Nice job

then again I may just be a bit bias.

Plasti-dipped wheels usually scream "hey everybody! I'm an ugly set of rims spray painted by a 17 year old".

But not in this case. With that color car, the style looks good. I prefer the "before" pic, but the "after" looks darn good, too.

I used to hate plastidipped wheels... Until last weekend!

OP, you did great. Here is mine in support.

Can you provide a DIY or is there one for this already? I assume the entire rim is done so rim and tire off car. I have a cts lease and want to do this. Easy back to original when done. Going to go hit the search button for this. Thanks OP

Did mine on the car. Dip Your Car has a couple excellent vids on YouTube!

Wheels stayed intact, used about 3.5 black and about .5 can of clear. Used a garbage bag to cover the break and rotor, tried the smoke/gun metal look first but then darkened it eventually

Yours look great too.

I think black cars are the only ones that can get away with plastidipped wheels. Nice work OP it really does look good.
