plastidip wheels white
 

I did these this past weekend... next week is the Akebono brake upgrade..

Let's see how these plastdipped wheels holds up.. this is white with a little bit of metalizer finish

looks pretty good if u have the centercap dipped in white too

I'm not sure what to do with the center caps. Since I'm installing the akebonos next weekend and they're in red I was thinking about making part of the center cap red.

Very Nice Job. I think the stuff is great, but I doubt it will hold up. The good news is that you can peel it away and do it again!

Not bad at all, I would just keep the centercap white though or leave them off

Red would be too much

:wtf2:

Doesn't look too bad for white on white.

Don't mind me but I'm extremely picky, so:

Whites don't match. Drives me a bit crazy. Looks OK as far as how close they match though, and definitely impressive for plastidip.

I have never particularly soiled my pants for the OE sport wheels in any color but the clear coated aluminum.

Center caps will HAVE to match. There is no other red on the car, so a red center cap will just look horribly ugly IMO

Well the calipers will be red. They're being powdercoated now.

What's it like to clean those white dipped RAYS?

:ugh2:

looks awesome. i am thinking about going the plastidip route on my wheels temporarily to see what i think before possibly powder coating them black....my biggest concern is making sure this will actually peel COMPLETELY OFF without a problem. are u sure the heat from the brakes, etc doesnt melt the plastidip on the wheel in ANY WAY?? as long as im promised a clean removal i will try this out

The plastidip will yellow/grey out a bit once it gets dirty, which will make it match your car color more lol. I've had 2 sets of wheels plastidipped and they hold up perfectly fine

:wtf2:

:wtf2:

I've plastidip my wheels before i had them powder coated. The one thing i ran into was the tire shine eating into the plastidip. I don't know if anyone else ran into that problem. But if you are worried that it won't peel completely off it will. I've also plastidip the rear valanc and the front bumper where the fangs are. It has held up since i plastidip it in January of this year.

The Plastidip will come off completely and pretty easily as long as you do enough coats

And yes, tire shine eats into plastidip, you instead have to use tire gel and an applicator carefully

I finally figured that out after the fact lol:shakes head:.

LOL, sorry, I figured it must have a real weakness, and I fortunately googled it before I did my friend's

Oh man, you should of seen the look on my face as i wiped the shine off the plastidip.... i was like :eek: followed by :crying:
