Yeah definitely. I've found that the glossifier works well on small areas like emblems and badges, but not so well on large areas. I tried to do my roof with the glossifier, but it didn't come out right no matter how much glossifier I put on it. I think you should be fine with the wheels though.

Here's some pics of my emblems with 4-5 coats of the glossifier so you can get an idea of how glossy it might get. You can just keep adding coats of the glossifier until you're happy with how it looks.

Blades, did u order the glossifier online? I can't seem to find them at local stores

DO NOT put the red on anything white or paint. It stains pink when you peel it off. Stick with White/black.

Yeah I ordered everything online. The only thing I've ever seen in the store was regular black plasti dip. Here's the website I ordered from:

No problem. Actually I'm glad you asked because while on the website to give you the link I actually bought this. Should help make my wheels look clean for once and not dusty.

Dip Washer - Detailed item view - Plasti Dip For Your Car - Resources & More at DipYourCar.com NEW Glossifier

Also, I'm gonna be taking my car on a hyperdrive at Summit Point Raceway in 2 weeks so we'll see how plasti dipped wheels hold up at the track.

Damn. I had planned on painting the NISMO on the wheel in black and the "O" in red. I guess I'll scratch that idea and just paint the whole NISMO in black. The tops of my lugs might be red tho :)

Just a word of caution, plasti dip on the lugs and the area surrounding them is prone to getting taken off when you take the lug nuts off and put them back on.

Yea, was thinking of just spraying the tops. You barely see the side of the lug nuts in the stockies.

Idk, i'm playing it by ear to be honest. If it looks stupid, I'll just remove the color. I've been waiting for someone to make stock style lugs, but colored!!!! :shakes head:

Every time I take my lug nuts off, a little bit of the plasti dip on the wheels always seems to come off with it. Not really that big of a deal, but not sure how it would work with plasti dip on the lugs themselves. I thought about doing the lug nuts too, but I kind of like having them and center caps stay silver.

Let me know how good the cleaner is for plasti dipped wheels :-)

speedfreek 06-05-2012 02:52 PM

A way to get around of the red staining anything pink you dont want ummm pink is to put down a base coat of the regular black plasti dip and then put the red on top of it. Only thing is it will probably take a couple more coats. Just a thought.
