max power Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 You are either a genius or a moron. Time will tell. Looks good right now.How did you prep them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrown57 Posted May 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Prep? Just wiped em down and started spraying. Got the idea from a Cadillac forum where a few other people had done this same thing, one guy posted a pic of one of his cars that was painted entirely with Plasti Dip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Interesting. Might be a cheap alternative to powdercoating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScubaCinci Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 They make spray cans of plastidip? I thought it was literally a dip (at least the one I bought). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrown57 Posted May 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Comes in both forms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaCinci Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Didn't know that...that would have saved me some time and aggravation. I actually, I suspected it did but I went to both Lowes and Home Depot and each only had the dip kind.Those rims look nice. I'm interested in hearing how they hold up.

How good will it hold up?No idea If it gets bad I can always just repaint em but I'm hoping I'll have some nice new chrome rims by that time, also plan on using these as winter tires once I get a new set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
