Dipped my wheels

Theoneandonly · 08-01-2016, 09:14 PM

Picked up my car on Saturday and have just got the wheels dipped black. Can't stop the dogs from peeing on them and didn't want there to be any effect from that so covered them up. Have no idea if it helps or not.

Try leaving a nature's miracle pad next to the car then slowly start moving it away if the dogs do in fact use it. There's some sort of scent in there that's supposed to make them want to use it.

I do too, but a silver dipped version I saw didn't look great. Anyway, it's more about protection from my dogs fighting over territory of the yard than the looks for me.

I agree that the black wheels look more aggressive and give the car a more brash look. I like it overall. I personally like the semi-gloss look over the flat black, but that's just my personal opinion. From what I've read, you can spray a gloss finish over the flat black plasti-dip to achieve the semi-gloss look. Did you consider that?

To be honest, I would have already powdercoated my wheels semi-gloss black if I could figure out how to get the car on 4 jack stands.
