Anyone ever Plastidip wheels before?

Might try wheels at some point too. Would wheels take a long time to do? If not, we could do those on Saturday too.

We may not have enough time for the wheels. I did just check the forecast for Sat. and it looks like we should be good for the morning - scattered storms aren't due until the afternoon. I also don't have enough jack stands at the moment to get my whole car up (only have 2 + my hydraulic jack) so I need to borrow my friend's other two so I can just do all four of my wheels at the same time instead of one side at a time lol.

Here's a couple shots of Kenny's (Solid Katfish) fangs and rear valence he did with plasti dip:

Has anyone tried putting armorall on the rims for a more glossy look.
Has anyone tried to wax or polish the matte finish?

Does anyone know where to buy the white and red plastic dip spray? I checked a homedepot and lowes, they only offer it in matted black

b1adesofcha0s · 07-22-2011, 08:57 AM

Might be able to find it online. I know I saw them on Amazon.

Also, I think I will only do the roof tomorrow morning. How many cans of plasti dip and clear will be good for the roof?

I would say two cans should be ok, if we need anymore I do have a couple spare cans myself we can use as well as some duplicolor clearcoat.

Ok sounds good. I have like half a can of plasti dip and most of a can of clear at home. Looks like I will just need to get one more can of plasti dip and I should be good.

I hope it looks good because it's going to be a PITA to take off with the clear coat.

i would try it on my wheels just for fun but i wonder if its gonna leave the inner barrels all dirty with particles of plastic from the spray

b1adesofcha0s · 07-22-2011, 07:03 PM

Ok I've got my car washed and my roof waxed. I may be there closer to 10 am depending on what time I get back from this wedding. I also have to go to work at 2 am for like an hour

b1adesofcha0s · 07-23-2011, 02:12 AM

Hey Ron, it looks like I will be there closer to 10 am than 9 am. Just got home from work so I'm trying to get a little more sleep, lol.
