ive seen a few impressive videos about plastidip on youtube and i was wondering if that stuff really works. im still overseas so it wont do me much good now but im coming back to america in a couple months and im wondering will this be a good investment. thanks in advance

Good stuff. Lay it on a bit thick. Not like spray paint. It'll peel right off like a big rubber sheet.

it works good and holds up great
I have stuff on my car from over a year ago.
and I wash it once a week

Yeah TONS of people on this site have used it, and I've even used it to paint my wheels white, my bezels white, and I just painted a friend's wheels black! Great stuff!

P.S. The white plastidip is a much inferior product to the black. But the white does sure look better imo

Can plastidip be colorized in dark blue color?

You can make any color you want. It will be more expensive though and time consuming.

ive had my wheels done for around 5 months now and they are holding up great. i also did my friends 2011 5.0 wheels a few months back and they've all held up great so far. the only thing i noticed was on one of my wheels i drove through some oil/chemical or something and there is some light staining/spots. nothing anyone notices without me pointing it out. either way, honestly this stuff is so cheap and easy to use. i would highly recommend at least trying it out for yourself and developing your own opinion. if you dont like it you can just peel it off.

Wow, very nice. Am looking for an inexpensive "black" wheel for my daughter's summit white and I think she would like this. Did you have to remove the wheels to apply?? Thankx.

Nope you don't have to remove them. Just get a garbage bag or 2 and wrap it around your rotor. Make sure no plastidip (rubber) can get in your breaking mechanism.

Then spray away!

If you get any overspray on your car, just use some bug and tar remover. It will wipe right off if you spray that stuff on it and let it sit for ten seconds.

i chose to take my wheels off and used playing cards to mask it off, i think it makes it a lot easier(less masking). but if you did leave them on even if you did have some over spray its would be easy to remove it after it dried completely. also if you do use cards make sure you pull them off before the last coat dries or you'll run the risk of it sticking to the card and peeling off of the wheel..
