I might do that to the S2K to see if I really want to have the wheels refinished.

Yeah they have a gold metalizer that you spray over a base coat of black. I'll post a youtube video of it when I get home from work. It's the same thing I used for my wheels, except I used the silver metalizer. If you put down a thin layer of the gold, it gives the wheel a bronzish look. The more coats of gold you spray on it, the more gold it gets.

As long as it's not in the parking lot while it's raining

Just watch the youtube vid I'm gonna post later. It shows you how to do it and it's how I learned to do mine.

They sell a bunch of colors on their website. I was thinking about doing my wheels bright green while I wait for my new wheels

Check out this website for more cool plasti dip related stuff. They have a bunch of different colors, kits, and accessories available as well as galleries and how-to videos like the one above. This is where I ordered all my stuff from.

That's pretty interesting. I'd be concerned with how it reacts to brake dust, heat, and the elements over time, though.

m4a1mustang · 03-27-2012, 05:41 PM

Damn the red plasti dip looks pretty interesting.

I've seen guys with black Zs do their emblems with it. Look pretty cool

I kinda want the red GT500 stripes, so Plasti-dip would help me test it out and see if I actually want them.

Def. from what I saw, it's very bright

I'll have to pick some up and play around with it. The GT500 stripes have a black pinstripe around the red main one, so I figure I could probably lay down a black base coat then spray red with maybe 1/4" black on either side uncovered.

That would probably work.

Yup, Im leaning towards doing the entire rim in plastidip, I think It'll come out fantastic.
