Ok, I'm in the process of test painting a bucket lid now. I did three coats of black plastidip as my base. Now I'm painting over it. We'll see how it goes.

Really nice! How many cans you used for 4 wheels?

FYI, the paint over plastidip idea was a failure. It looks fine but is very difficult to remove. I highly recommend against doing anything similar.

When you guys did your wheels did you remove the tires and stems or did you just take them off the car and painted them?

Masa, I see you are from Annapolis. Do you by any chance have the black fang delete on your 370? I'm pretty sure I've seen you on my commute to Alexandria on 50. I drive a red 09 370z with the black fang and black rear valence.
Anyway, I'm actually considering plastidipping my emblems in a few weeks after reading one of the threads about it recently. |

I plan to plastidip my wheels sometime in the near future just to see if I want to go through with powder-coating - sort of like window shopping before making the final purchase. edit: Don't you just love that stretch of Rt. 50 between Annapolis and D.C.? It's like the autobahn - if you aren't going 90mph someone is gonna run you off the road!
