I just did mine 2 days ago! Bought a set of Limited 20's from a forum member (excellent transaction) and used the plasti-dip. Worked out real good. I will take pics tomorrow when it's nice and sunny outside.

Ask and you shall receive!









Note that the first wheel has some tire shine that got on it. I was real easy to do. I sprayed 3 coats of the plasti-dip. I will peel it off and retry to do it again. My first coat was real heavy and when it dried it came out really nice. Smooth texture and it was actually shiny and not flat.

I really wanted to powder coat them gloss black, but didn't want to pull the trigger until I actually see how they would like like. $6.00 a can was a cheap way to help me decide whether I want to do it or not.

What was your wheel prep like? What exactly did you do?

Wow! Those wheels look great! Was it a PITA to plasti-dip them? Any suggestions (or possibly a detailed writeup ) for the rest of us?

I'm going to attempt to do this again, this time with 1 heavy coat. When I first did them I did do a first heavy coat and it came out perfect! It was smooth and actually had a gloss to it! I will take pictures as well.

Basically:
1. Take off your wheels
2. Clean them really well
3. Mask off any parts where you don't want the plasti dip. I used index cards in between the tire and lip of the rim to avoid getting the plasti dip on the tires.
4. Wait 30-40min in between coats

Note: Carefully remove any tape you used where you didn't want the plasti dip. Don't just rip it off, you don't want some of the dried plasti dip to follow and peel. I did allow the final coat to dry overnight.

Hope this helps!

, looks nice to me. One more question, does the plastic-dip hold up after several high pressure car washes?

I've washed the car once since the plasti dip and they are holding up. Used a soft scrub brush for the wheels, pressure washed them and they still look good. I've heard stories of the plasti dip holding up for a year

Game on. Gonna give it a try this coming week!

I'm getting the urge to try this again, anyone else with results. My only fear is that I may be wasting my time, if the coating does not last very long.

Hey. did you do your rims yet? I have a Mag Grey SR5 also and I've been thinking of doing my rims also. I've just been wondering what i'd look like. PICS!!

I havent yet. I got caught up doing other stuff but the bug is getting me again. Going to be installing wheel spacers soon so Im thinking that since I will have the wheels off it would be a good opportunity to plasti-dip them. If and when I do them I will definately get pics up.

So got two wheels Plastidipped and went great, UNTIL I was putting it back on and as I was tightening it with HAND RATCHET, then bolt snapped off in the nut!. FML
