Hey Guys,

Here are the instructions on how to Plasti Dip your wheels for a different look :)

Items needed: 2 to three cans of platic dip, you can buy it at Home Depot, it cost bout $6 per can.

My suggestion is taking the tires off your car, clean your wheels with a damp rag:

Next you may use a deck of cards, or flash cards, and place them round the edges of the rim, so the plastic dip won't get on your tire. If it does no worries, you can just peel it off.

Apply 4 to 5 coats of Plasti Dip on your wheel, wait bout 10-15 min in between coats:

Looks good. Did you coat the other side of the wheel?

Yes sir, I was planning to use Painters Tape around the wheel, but didn't had any (I need a round trip to Home Depot), but I had flash cards in the Garage and used it instead, and it works perfectly.
 
nicely done sir! :thumbsup: Images backed up in the gallery
 
I'm thinking about doing white plasti dip on my tires, to match my car of course. Then spraying the honda H on the rims with the black. Does anyone know exactly how bright the white Plasti Dip is?
