Plastidipped my wheels

[Rapford75]

Ive done a few things in plasti-dip and prep is just a very good cleaning. No alcohol or any other craziness is needed. I did the reflectors on my mirrors today in plasti-dip. Have played around with a few other things and just peeled it off. I am going to get another rear emblem and plasti-dip it and see how I like it. I have some other thoughts of items to do and I'll post pics if I do them.

Purchased at Home Depot for 5.98/can and everything I have read says 2 cans will do all four wheels.

Lemme know how you like that emblem done, my rangers rear emblem has blotches, I gotta do something with it.

What Rapford75 said, I bought it at Lowes for $6 a can.

For prep I washed the wheels with soap and water, dried them off, cleaned the surface with 70% rubbing alcohol and then went to town.

What I like the most about this is that it's 100% reversible if you ever want to take it back to stock. It's easily retouched with a spare can as well.

I spent a whopping $14 with the painters tape, I can't really see a downside to the project at that cost.

Thanks for the comments guys, glad y'all enjoy it.

Should you be worried about the overspray in the wheel?

Not bad, looks sharp!

No, it blends well and the wheels aren't finished from the factory back there either so it's not a big deal.

Cool thanks. Last question, how many cans did you use?

 

[Tejas]

I ended up using half a can of Plastidip per wheel

Two!

Well you make it sound like it's pretty easy to take off. If that's the case it doesn't sound to durable =/
