Anyone ever Plastidip wheels before?

Anyone ever done this before? Seems safe and easy to test out with the 18" Enkei wheels.

Im not sure what he just did, I mean, what did he do? hehe. It was like the video went from Before and After..

Unless I stroked out during the vid, I saw no one actually apply anything to the
wheels...

hahahaha... yeah I thought the same thing, after seeing the video, I thought..wait a minute, what just happend?

Boost_lee · 07-16-2011, 03:46 AM

what colors are readily available?

MnTBlitz · 07-16-2011, 09:11 AM

Looks like they have them in Black, White, Red, Blue, Yellow, and Clear.

I don't see why it wouldn't be safe to use on the fangs, rear valance, and door handles.
And when you get tired of it, you can just remove it. This is definitely intriguing,
Nice find, +1 for you Masa.

My thoughts exactly. I want to redo my rear valance. Who knows, I can rock different colored wheels for few weeks lol

You spray it on like spray paint minus the prep work. Peel it off if you don't like. Not much to it. I used both black and white plastidip on my rims.

djpathfinder · 07-16-2011, 12:20 AM

I'm tempted to plastidip something too. It's so cool and removable whenever you want.

Do you have any

b1adesofcha0s · 07-17-2011, 03:39 PM

Looks like they have a create your own color kit, but it might be kind of hard to get it gun metal. Ron, did you use just the black or did you use the clear as well? I'm assuming using the clear gives it a glossy finish?

Hey Shahid, like Kenny said, I just used three coats of the plastidip. The finished product has a satin sheen/finish to it - pretty close to how the black parts on our front grille look.

Adding clear to the top will def give it a hi gloss look. Let me know when you are up to do the roof, I am down to help and doucment

I def. want to do these to my wheels, the fact that there is no prep and you can peel it off without ruining anything just makes it that much more tempting.

Will do man! Read somewhere on line that the plasti dip clear is not a clear coat, its just the same as the others but with no color. Do you think a regular clear coat would work well with the black plasti dip?

I want to try it out on my rear valence and fangs first. Then maybe roof and wheels. Where did you buy it from and for how much?
