Tired of your wheel or car color? Plasti dip it!

Post by htchevyii »

Hi guys,
The guys that I work with have been going nuts with this stuff. It's plasti dip like they sell for tool handles, but apparently works fine on paint and chrome too. If you want to see what a different color wheel looks like, black out some chrome, add some stripes or change the color of your whole car, here ya go. If you don't like it, it just peels off!

I've been looking at that recently myself.. I'm about 2 years away from painting, but doing research..

From what i can tell never have seen it in person, it doesn't come out all that 'shiny' as I would like. Almost flat, or semi-gloss..

I might use it for other projects though. I have some yard furniture that it might work well with.

My son tried to use it to change the color on the rear valance of his ABARTH. Looked like crap and could not get it off.

Were it me, I would stick with re-coating tool handles, etc.

I hear the trick is to get a thick enough coating or it can be hard to remove. Citrus degreaser is also supposed to work. The guys that I work with have been happy with the results. I'm going to try it on some wheels.
