I'll play! Plasti-dipped Tenzo Type-M

 

my turn..





gotta love that plasti dip!

 

sexy!! damn, i need to dip mine too!!

did you use any glossifier?

 

Thanks. And no I didn't. I just cleaned the wheels and painted them I put 4 coats with the first being the heaviest out of all four. Its better IMO to take the wheels off the car

 

Looks good! I think I really want to do this. Ill end up taking the wheels off, so I can do a better job.

 

i've plasti-dipped my car about 4 months ago and they're holding up great! I've also been through the car wash a couple times and they are fine.

 

white plasti-dipped the OEM bbs wheels for winter and they held up against all the sand/ debris all winter.

in spring, i peeled it all off and the OEM finish was untouched! gotta love the dip

 

Any updates on how long it held up? I might PD my rims white.

 

interested in doing it as well. Any idea if pressure washing it would take the paint off?

 

This stuff is pretty strong. The more coats the better. I used it on my front lip to see how it would look. After a week I got tired of it and decide to rub it off with soap and water. Damn thing will not come off! but then I realize that if you just take a knife and lift one of the corners you can actually peel it off. Theres a whole bunch of YouTube video on it.

 

the black on blue looks good

 

Could you please post some pics!! I've been looking all over for a white plasti dipped BBS

 

I have a rr evo x and plasti dipped the wheels black (3 coats) then put 2 coats of golds metalizer. they turned out awsome with the bronze look. in the light there seems to be a little and I mean little hint of green in it. there is a good bit of metal flake in the metalizer but with it being satin, it looks great. The wheels have been done now for 3 months. It holds up pretty good. The color is still good and no peeling so far. I did my wheels off the car and it took me about 3 hours start to finish. I did learn my lesson on one aspect. role a piece of tape through the lug hole. if you dont , you'll take a chance of pulling the plastic dip and be carefully not to snag your socket on the side when tightening the lug nut. I did this on one wheel and had to start over. took 20 min to peel off. I like the dip on the inside of the wheel. it protects really well from stuff like tar. I'm getting myself lined up for powder coating but can't decide on a color. This is a really cheap way to test colors out. trying the gunmetal metalizer next. Running Rota P45.

 

Other thoughts. Cleaning the wheel is a bit of a pain. on any spoke wheel there are edges on the sides. be carefull when cleaning them. you can catch the edge with your rag or brush and cause a peel. also with it being a rubber it has a friction to what ever your cleaning with so you have to take your time when cleaning. its a pain but worth it if you like to change things up a lot
