"Painted" my wheels
4 Attachment(s)
So I've been wanting to try this out now for a while after seeing a few threads around here. I've always wondered what my car would look black on black and this was the easiest way to see if I liked it. I went out and bought some plasti dip and went to town today :)
First one Attachment 244305 Testing it out Attachment 244306 Got smart and made some ghetto 3X5 cards Attachment 244307 and a comparison of front to back(also dipped the lugs for added effect) Attachment 244308 so far I like it and I'm thinking further down the road after I peel this stuff off i might go out an get em powder coated :) and now the break down Time: 3 hours(dinner break) Cost: $13 Overall effect: :yumyum: glad I did it and for a first time shooter it wasn't too bad, now lets see how long it stays on |
Not bad, a local guy did them also and I saw them they look good just wish the stuff was as smooth as paint.

It would look great since your brake color is red.
|
Not bad at all... ;)

Looks real fresh, well done!
|
Mine keeps coming out rough and rubbery. It looks nothing like this, first coat yes. After that, it comes out rough and rubbery. What am i doing wrong? I did the emblems and they came out smooth but my rims look bad :(
|
you might be spraying it on too thick. When I did mine I only put on one good coat over everything
|
doesnt look bad.. mine also painted black i like the chrome lugnuts and middle better though like on mine.
|
Very nice I just did this to my rims last weekend and I'm regretting not doing it sooner! Gotta love Plasti Dip
|
Mine finally chipped this week and started peeling off on one of the wheel spokes this weekend after 3 months of use. they hold up pretty good!
|
I'm constantly worried about accidentally bumping them or rubbing them and making it chip. Have you gone through a car wash with them before?
|
You can buy red wheel nuts at autozone for about $20 I think. if not use the rest of the brake caliper paint. I painted the brake calipers and the center and outer edge of the discs and still used less then half the paint.

I washed them for the first time yesterday and I know what you mean about the breakdust. It's only been a week since I had them painted and it was caked on there already.
