You and I'll never see eye to eye on plastidip. I think it's tacky and cheap. To each his own.

![]() ![]() Paint your rims KAV and your door handles Gun Metallic. The only thing I would use PlastiDip for is for blacking out the fangs. Since that area is a stone chip magnet, the elasticity of PlastiDip makes it the perfect coating. It can be easily touched-up - it is way more self-leveling than paint - and when it finally looks bad, peel it off and reapply. ![]()

No one paints wheels. You're 100% wrong.

![]() ![]() That comment may come as a surprise to not only R&S Wheels in Houston, but most if not all car manufacturers too. In spite of what was stated further up the thread, I painted mine. Two reasons: 1. I wanted an exact match to KAV; and 2. when they do get nicked/scratched, it's much easier to do a touch-up. Don't fool yourself, a powder coated wheel can get a stone chip; I've seen it numerous times. I don't deny that powder coating isn't a much more durable coating, but it does have some drawbacks too. I've got two nicks on my powder coated calipers, so it can happen. As with everything else, it's all a function of the environment you drive your car in.

That's where I'm taking my wheels. And they're also painting them KAV.

Not everybody lives where the roads are salted. Also, water and soap removes salt.

Aren't the factory wheels painted anyway? Doesn't seem like paint is a huge issue if it comes that way form the factory.
