Stock



Taped



First coat still wet




Dry finish

This is the first time I have done this. I made a few mistakes but I mostly want to see how long the stuff can last and how it holds up. The next time I will correct the minor issues I caused myself.

Other than that I think it makes the car look better and certainly the wheels since the previous owner used some pretty harsh stuff on a couple of them that left them looking bad in areas.

 

Interesting idea. I think it would have looked better in any color other than black though.

 

Looks good

 

I'm interested in seeing how durable this can be. Wouldn't mind experimenting with my stock MR wheels some day.

 

You can get other colors. I happen to like the black and silver look.

I was talking about it with a guy at work a week or so ago and a few days after that a thread popped up here. By that time i had already bought the cans and was waiting for the day.

I three thick coats so I used just barely over three cans. It evens out as it dries. You do one coat and wait 30 min. to do another coat then four hours to dry.

 

Thanks

 

It is completely reversible as it just peels right off.

I was going to see how well it holds up. The Evo is not my DD anymore bit I still get it out and drive the back roads.

 

I think it looks good. How easy is it to get that stuff off at the end tho?

 

Looks great!

 

When I was getting the taped diamond off the center cap it seems to peel off without much issue.

There are a bunch of videos on YouTube that show people taking it off. I want to see how well it lasts on back roads and a wash.

As I said in the OP I made a few minor errors this time around but learned from it and it is fixable so not harm no foul.

 

Thanks

I love the flat black wheel look.

 

WHHHYYYYYYY

 

Why not?

Nothing permanent and I like the black wheel look, besides the wheels look worse up close without the coating, thanks to the previous owner.


Powder coating costs a fortune and has more down time. This can be removed and a different color if one wanted.

Or is it only when one spends a ton of money on things that it makes it desirable?


Have a nice day by the way.

 

Been there done that the reason why evonub is trippin is your wheels are going to be chipped and nasty looking in no time. I even went a step farther and sanded my stockers and removed the stickers and they still chipped like crazy with the "wheel paint" and the clear coat as directed. Rattle cans are for arts and crafts, the wheels simply take too much abuse.

It peels off. If they start to look "chipped" (hard to do when it is rubberized finish, but possible) I can peel it off. No sanding needed, no finishing it with a clear coat. None of that.

This is an experiment. You people "trip out" far too easily without reading things properly.
