AngryPolska Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Plasti Dip is pretty cool stuff. I did my Irocs about a month ago. What's cool is it actually protects the surface of the rims, and then if you decide you no longer want them Plasti dipped, just peel it off.

txredgt Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Plasti-Dip for those who don't know is stuff you can peel off if you don't like it. Works great to see if you are thinking about blacking something out but arn't sure if you want it permanant yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngryPolska Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Plasti Dip I'll probably go back to chrome in a few months. Kinda cool to roll blacked out for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeebalow Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Link to said plastidip? Is it a spray version? Did you do any of the surface that is inside the tire? Or just tape off the tire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the1inblue Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 Well I tried everything...plasti-dip sucks..it wont stay on my rims. I let it dry for 12 hrs. I went to wipe them down to clean them from a rain shower that occurred early this morning and it pulled right off as I wiped them down.

Chewy Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 So you stripped any products off with IPA and then coated? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueGenCoupe Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Plasti dip is some good stuff...don't know how it will hold up on rims tho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you prep them before spraying? When I did mine, I cleaned the rims with soap and water, then wiped down with rubbing alcohol to remove any finger prints, grease, etc. You gotta really coat those things. For a 20" wheel, you're looking at "minimum" 1 full can per rim. Probably 3-4 full coats at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeebalow Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Did you prep them before spraying? My first thought as well, I've ready many threads where it held up great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the1inblue Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 I stripped them down to the bare metal and still no luck. So I decided to painted them instead. Looks good too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you sand? Did you wipe it down with alcohol before applying the plasti dip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the1inblue Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 I stripped them with aircraft remover and sanded them down. I sprayed them by taping off the tires. Don't have alot of money to remove them. So after several coats it didn't hold up to touching. I decided I would paint them instead. Which turned out great. I used the wheel paint from Auto Zone. Primer, Paint and Cleared.Sorry for being late with pictures It has been hell the past two days. I have which of other things going on. Ill take some tomorrow. Edit: BTW I purchased the plasti-dip from Lowes Hardware. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
