Do stock rims look good dipped?
 

I plan on dipping my rims a graphite metallizer as soon as I get it shipped. Question is, will it look good on stock rims? I have a feeling it won't and I'm scared I'll be wasting 87$ on paint on shitty rims Attachment 101210

I did all 4 of my 19" rays with 3 cans of plastidip so that cost me like $22... I am getting ready to dip them bronze using a kit from Dipyourcar.com and that is only $49 +$12 shipping. I think it looks great and if you dont like it you can always peel it off or just change the color.

on the 2012 and up they do! xD

Pics?

I dont have them on mine, but i've seen a couple around my area with them. Next time i'll take a pic when I can.

These? Attachment 101215 if so, I agree. They are very nice when dipped, however, I have a 2011 lol

2012+ have a different sport wheel

I'm debating if I want to plati dip mine lol cause I like the smoked color on my sport rims...lol

Joker the ones your posted is 2012< sport package, the pic branky posted is 2013+ sports package....

atleast for the canadian release. I have a 2012 with the old style rims.... still nice though!

2009-2012 have the same sport wheels. The change happened in 2013. So 2013+ have the redesigned sport wheel.

Many have dipped both the sport wheels and base wheels. It looks about as good as plastidip can look.

I didn't post any rims lol
I think he just quoted me and placed a pic underneath

Yeah I did lol. I'm on tapatalk so I attached it. Anyway, I'm hoping graphite metallizer will look nice on my stock rims. I paid 87$ total including shipping for the dip lol

did you get the spray gun as well?

I got the plus kit that included: PreDip spray, Brake Masking Bags and a microfiber towel.

Should I get the spray gun?

YESSSSSS my friend does plasti and he said that it is a must to get so you can get even lines everytime. He tried one with out the gun and he over sprayed lol

I believe those wheels and DRL were introduced for 2013 MY. Of course you could buy a 2013 MY in the latter end of 2012...:stirthepot:

Do stock rims look good dipped?
 

Could u get me the link?

Edit; I think I found what ur talking about but they are 150$. I might pass on that lol

My friend found one for 50 I think on amazon. It doesn't have to be a professional one haha

similar to this

Damn. I'd pay 20-30$ for one. 55$ just to dip my rims on top of the 87$ is overboard haha. I'll be careful though. Hopefully it'll look nice on stock rims.

Well he also used it on his emblem, rims, taillight etc lol

When I get paid next week and my rims come out clean, I'll prob do my emblems and other stuff afterwards and purchase the gun. Low on funds right now haha

completely understand that man haha I'm debating on getting more parts or just isntalling what I have now and getting a tune since the weather is nice.

If you've got the extra funds, why not? I've got such a limited amount I can spend on my car so if I were in your position, I would probably install what I've got now. What do u have?

So far I have the Stillen Gen 3 CAI, Stillen Transmission Cooler, and APEXI RS Exhaust. I'm debating on either getting a Oil cooler tho since the 14 has a stock oil cooler lol But eventually will get a different Y-pip and HFC once I hear and feel how the car performs with the exhaust :)

If you've got anything you're trying to get rid of, shoot me a message lol. Very nice setup as well

Still a long way to go! haha I'll keep you posted!

Most definitely. Thanks for your help and good luck to u my man

I have a 2012 with base rims plasti dipped matte black with silver Metalizer.
I'll post a picture in a bit

here you go

Just pick up 3 cans of matte black dip from lowes or home depot. Buy a can of silver or gold metalizer. Pick up a cheap spray paint can handle. Cover your rotors and brakes with plastic bags. You can do it yourself for about 25 dollars.
