Anyone ever Plastidip wheels before?

Anyone ever done this before? Seems safe and easy to test out with the 18" Enkei wheels.

Unless I stroked out during the vid, I saw no one actually apply anything to the
wheels...

You spray it on like spray paint minus the prep work. Peel it off if you don't like. Not much to it. I used both black and white plastidip on my rims.

I'm tempted to plastidip something too. It's so cool and removable whenever you want.

Looks like they have them in Black, White, Red, Blue, Yellow, and Clear.

I don't see why it wouldn't be safe to use on the fangs, rear valance, and door handles.
And when you get tired of it, you can just remove it. This is definitely intriguing,
Nice find, +1 for you Masa.

My thoughts exactly. I want to redo my rear valance. Who knows, I can rock different colored wheels for few weeks lol

Well, since I was unable to attend the Mid-A cruise this morning due to family engagements, afterwards I decided to try out plasti dip for myself. See for yourselves.

The cool part is it works as advertised, if you somehow miss taping off a part it just peels right off without harming the clear coat.

This is a great find!! +1

I definitely want to do it.. would be great to do a group plastic dip !

I have a PG, so if I can find a gun-metal finish that would be great... I would like to do the wheels / nissan logo ... maybe 370 and the door handles

Same here, gun metal would be awesome.
