Default Painting Nismo Logo on wheels?

Hey Guys

Just looking for a painless way to paint the Nismo logo? On my silver Nismo wheels.

Most guys are using black letters for the Nism and red for the o. Looking to do the same.

Would plastic dip be the easiest?

thank you

Plastidip would work but you'd have to wipe off any excess/overspray while it's still wet to achieve cleaner lines.

There are also vinyl decals you can buy, about $20 a set from Mike The Powder Coater.

+1 to Mike. He has multiple options on the "O". I put mine on two years ago and they are still in perfect condition.

This. I had the painter apply the decals when I had my wheels painted and then clear coat over them.

I went the cheap and easy rout. I bought red nail polish and painted the O in myself. It last a few months before you have to touch her up. I clean my rims with an electric power washer then go over it with a rag and need a touch up every 4 months or so.

My wife chips her nail polish on daily, she has to redo her nails 2-3x a week! 4 months is pretty good IMO
