Looking good so far.

Will post pics when done.

How many cans for each wheel?

Thyshallsmite · 05-12-2012, 09:12 PM

you can paint em with the rims still on the car, no need to take em off, just tape off the brakes with a trash bag and what nots

His are the RS rims, assuming, but mine were the 18" LT ones. Lil under 4 cans, 2 light coats, 2 heavy ones.

They look good. Nice DIY mod. Hell, I NEVER mod'd any car I had before this one... Man how things changed. Post them pics, the RS ones are really sharp black. RS > LT imho :( Cheers.

If you want some RS rims I just saw a guy who is selling some for like $350 bucks for all 4 on the marketplace....I'll see if I can find it.....

Edit: That was easy....act quick...they are already black and are $300 plus shipping......

Cant :( Got my VR intake and MRT exhaust within 2 weeks... im on "expensive" mod hold for now. Gotta let em go unfortunately... Id buy em in the future, and PD them again. It was such a cool experience, Id have to imagine PDing the RS would be easier than the LT. They wanted to find silly nooks and crannies to hide in on em. Owells :(

I argue that point.

I watched mine dry in between fighting the wind, general convo, and punching bugs in the face who just HAD to land on wet paint/PD.

It def changes the look though, I haven't plastidip my wheels yet but I have plastidipped my tailight bezels and they look so much better.

Something like that did happen. I was spraying and a bug flew into the paint stream!

Pissed me off!

Just did my bowtie with plasti-dip might do the wheels next MIGHT.

Stealthpanda · 05-13-2012, 12:19 AM

Its really nice. Cost effective. Not that bad on time. Took 5 hours to do alone. Matte black though, not glossy, so you gotta be prepared for the look. Still looks amazing though. 21$ for all 4 rims. Hell. Yes.

SugeKnight · 05-13-2012, 12:42 AM

Yep i have the same exact rims on my LT, and my car is black, You made me want them, going to go buy the cans tomorrow, thanks man!

Looks great. FYI - the company that makes Plasti dip also makes a product called glossifier. You can lay down each coat on top of regular plasti dip and it will go from satin to high gloss!

Will it stand up to a tire change?
