I bought the wheel kit (matte black) from dipyourcar.com to do a set of wheels to use for Autocross. The 18" base wheels I bought were used and had some rash and I wanted them black. When I received the wheels I sanded the rash areas, cleaned and dried the wheel with water. Then used the prep/cleaner supplied in the wheel kit then dried the wheels. I then applied one coat of Plastidip, allowed that to dry for 30 min and then put on another coat. By this time it was getting dark so I put the wheels up for the night. The next afternoon when I got home from work I checked the wheels and the look good, but they feel soft and rubbery. I was planning on stopping at 2 coats, but this just doesn't seem right. With much pressure I can leave finger prints, it's that soft.
1) will it cure over time? 2) do I just need to apply more coats? Any suggestions would be very helpful. I've got my first Autocross event on Sunday, so I've got to get these finished. |
