Cheech Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Does a tire changer rip off the coating?Doorfront Parking like a BOSSNoBama 2012Possibly, but once those tires get changed out and the wheel weights get removed there's going to be a nice little spot there. Looks good now though, if it's that easy to redo it might not be a huge deal, but should have thought about moving the wheel weights before.

Jst2fst Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Or you can mask out the wheel weights with painters tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jporter12 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I did my roof, rims,mirrors,handles,grill,and bumpers in a textured bed liner...like LINE-X.(pics)I've seen that stuff used for quite a bit of stuff before. There's even a member on here with a Busa that's painted with bed liner stuff! (Danballa is his screenname) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedytriple Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I used 3m spray on bed liner for my DR-350 paint. has held up very well with the two coats I put on. Before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) I've had the wheels on my trailblazer dipped for almost a year now. If you take your time and do it right with plenty of coats you will not have any issues.Here is a site that sells anything plastidip you can imagine.I had one tire changed to replace a bad TPMS and it peeled a bit at the edge for about 2" but it's hardly noticeable.You can easily do emblems and such too by just masking about 2" away from the badge, spray them, wait for it to dry, and peel the access. It wont peel the emblem due to the gap between the emblem and the panel. A microfiber towel with some detail spray will remove any over spray.

ross Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Nice I might have to do this to the bike been wanting to get them re paintedI wouldn't do it on a bike due to how often you will change tires as compared to a vehicle going several thousand miles before a tire change is needed.

Steve Butters Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 vht epoxy paint is the shit when youre doing wheelsi would consider it a permanent solution though....it wont peel off like plasti dip....you would have to sandblast it off, and even then it wont come off too easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
