Orange plastidipped rims and mirrors.

Codename067 · 03-14-2014, 12:49 PM

Ok so before anyone jumps the gun, you should all
know that this was done completely out of the blue.
It was unplanned. I had a few extra cans laying
around from a previous work that I had no more need
for, and seeing how I will be getting some new rims
for this baby later this month, I said to myself
"screw it let me try it out and see how it will come
out" I also went a head and did the mirrors as well.

Well here are the results! Not too shabby in all honesty.
Got a few thumbs up and it does attract more looks.

Just wanted to share

Not a huge fan but the mirrors look.... off from the front.

How long will that last on those wheels?

Oh yeah big time. red is my second favorite color. I just didnt want to go buy them (not because they are expensive or anything). I had orange handy so I was like screw it,

For a very long time if they are done right. And I'm talking several months. You need to apply nearly 10 coats or more if you want it to last a very long time, specially the edges have to be done right because thats where the peeling starts.

It's not awful, but I think only Porsche can pull off this look 100%.

I have to respectfully disagree with you!

OP, it looks great, but be advised, one of the atlanta 350 guys did 1 wheel orange to see if he liked it, and kept it that way for a while. I don't know if he used wheel cleaner on it, or if the sun faded it, but several months later it was a dull whitish-orange. It does peel off though, so thats a plus

Thanks for the heads up. It's very temporary brother. I'm in the process of moving and working 6 days a week so I'm just waiting until I finalize the move before I slap on new shoes in this baby.
