whoo plasti dip

nickrose23 · 06-08-2014, 03:58 PM

before and after, 6 cans of it from amazon for like 20$, makes a huge difference IMO i just did wheels and kidneys.

UPDATE: just put on 5 coats of gloss on them, ill take pictures tomorrow and put them up then!!

Myself, not a fan of plastidip, but this looks pretty good.

Looks great! Good job! I love plasti dip! Haha

DC_Oldboy · 06-08-2014, 04:11 PM

Looks great! I suggest add some glossifier to it.

does that help extend the time between touch ups? I've never used it before so this was somewhat of an experiment.

Yeah, it should. But it's just to make the rims glossy. I just bought some and will apply it sometime this week. Can't wait!!!

Haha. Of course! Probably not for a few days. I'm just editing another one right now though. Just installed an aero lip today!!!

Looks good, but if you end up doing it again I suggest doing a grey or perhaps bronze-ish color.

evoix · 06-08-2014, 06:03 PM

idc what anyone says. Plasti dip is cool and looks good if done right. Just hate seing hyundais plasti dipping every part of their car and it looks like shit.

rohitsja · 06-08-2014, 06:22 PM

Looks nice !!!

I did my kidneys, front air vents (bumper grills), window trim, amber reflector and the 335i emblem and it looks great !!!

Kidneys have been dipped for almost a year now and they are still holding up pretty good

I do a lot of highway driving and they're holding up really well. I never take my car through the car wash, hand was only!! There's a product by dipyourcar.com and it's a spray on and wash off cleaner that requires no brushing or scrubbing so I use that on the wheels.

Even when I get the car detailed I tell them to leave the wheels alone

ahmza15 · 06-08-2014, 07:37 PM

Lol u should've just left it silver it looked way better IMO especially since u have those twisty rims
