4-5 coats. When and if you get some and apply it you will see that 3 costs look like enough but actually it isn't. When you are trying to take off 3 coats of plasti dip it will break off into smaller pieces which will be a longer time and hassle when removing them. When you apply 4-5 coats(trust me big difference) you can remove the plasti dip in one big piece.

How many cans of plasti dip does it take to do the wheels?

khabboub · 07-10-2012, 01:36 AM

i really want to plasti dip my wheels but i REALLY dont want matte black. is there anywhere that sells sort of a gloss black or chrome black? and can it be removed easily? thanks a lot guys.

Brandon_Lutz · 07-10-2012, 08:38 AM

For you guys who are doing your wheels, what kind of prep are you doing before laying down the plasti-dip? Just cleaning only?

I'm thinking about making a pinstripe on all my wheels with it and I was wondering what kind of prep you guys were going through.

Jayrcr3 · 07-10-2012, 09:23 PM

All I did was clean them up good with soap and water. That was a couple months ago, and they still look great. I think I used a little over 3 cans.

Dude .. That's one of the smartest things I have seen someone do! ..

+1

I've got one in a half cans in the garage, don't wanna get halfway through and have to go get more... although it may be kinda funny driving up to Home Depot with only 2 or 3 wheels done!
