Show your plastidip handiwork!!

e92proper · 12-29-2014, 03:44 PM

Hey everybody, been messing around recently with some plastidip and flexi dip (rustoleum equiv) on my stockers for the winter. Obviously it's temporary but figured I would start a thread for others to show off some dipped wheels (or anything really). Ingenious product, love messing with it. Here are two colors I did: red flexidip and black plastidip with silver metallizer.

Sorry, black with silver metallizer

e92proper · 12-29-2014, 03:46 PM

They are 18s with a 225/40/18 blizzak on them. Got them off craigslist for $200 with tires and tpms. They had some curb rash to them, but for winter they were the perfect price. Using plastic dip covered most of the rash and made them look brand new. I just need a faster way to clean plastidip now. Takes 1hr to fully clean the dirt/brake dust out of them.

That's a killer deal!! I peeled the black plastidip w metallizer on it because the surface was tacky and more rubbery with the plastidip as opposed to the flexidip. I'm using flexidip w glosifier now on the wheel, will post results. So far plastidip is easier to peel, but the finish on the flexidip is far superior.

I have had a few cans of black and some metallize in my garage for a while now and never got around to doing my wheels. Yours came out perfect. How much of each did you use?
