has anyone plasti dipped their evo camo tan?

 

Well this isn't an evo, but I just redid my helmet for when I start running some local autocross events. Figured I could have some fun while tooling around on the course.

 

Looks good, i like the mini off road pose.

 

Check out my EVO8 fully dipped in the falken tire sponsored livery race car theme. Yes it's all dip 😉

 

nice work man. that looks really well done.
is the FALKEN part dipped too or is that vinyl over top?

 

Thanks! The falken letters are vinyl, everything else is hand dipped!

 

Wow! Looks phenomenal!

 

So I've finally decided to pull the trigger and plasti dip my winter wheels white. I've been reading a lot and found people seems to have issues with brake dust not coming off. I'm wondering if people have found ways to avoid/minimize this?

What about:
-A clear coat of some sort?
-A thick layer of wax on the finished rims?

 

^ Same issue. I plasti dipped my jetta rims white without clearcoat and I had a big issue with cleaning them (won't ever do white again). Same mistake, I just plasti dipped my wheels black on my Evo but I didn't clearcoat it. They get dirty incredibly fast and they're a huge pain in the *** to clean, but it still looks pretty great. According to what I've read clearcoating helps with the cleaning issue. Anyone care to confirm this?

 

Clean it with bleach... yes it works

 

I dipped my old Saabaru wheels white with the pearlizer over top. They came out great but I had to clean them atleast twice a week lol. I tried a few things but found that Meguirs all wheel cleaner in the purple bottle worked like magic.

 

I did my Honda Element wheels years ago and never retouched up a thing. Just washed them every now and then. The thing with clearcoating is that your dip will be a royal pain to remove. It won't be a sheet you peel off anymore. It will flake and become brittle. Yeah, it looks nice for a little while but do you want to sacrifice the benefits of being able to change your mind at will with this stuff? Spray it with glossifier and it will have a smoother texture and less nooks & crannies for dirt to adhere to.

 

Spraying a few layers of plasti dip gloss on top of matte white will help reduce the staining and also using Brake Dust Pro and a pressure works amazing to clean them back to sparkling white!

 

Dip Coat works great as preventative maintenance as well.

 

I spent last sunday plasti-dipping my winter wheels. It was pretty straight forward and simple to do. Just time consuming. I did 3 coats on the back and 4 coats on the front. It took about 4 & 1/2 cans to do. I then put 2 coats of the glossifier on as well as waxed everything down real good. Hopefully this will help with the brake dust collection. I will let you guys know how the glossifier/wax combo works out.
