SMielke Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 I plastidip'd my wheels about a year ago. It was my first time dipping. I have been trying to remove the old dip but it isn't coming off. Any ideas on what can be used to remove it without damaging the finish underneath. I plan on going back to stick and going with aftermarket wheels.
Moderators BarManBean Posted April 1, 2015 Moderators Posted April 1, 2015 you can spray more dip on and it will make it a thicker layer with no other issues. should help it to peel off easier. "Bullet-proof" your OEM TMIC! <<Buy your kit here>> Not currently in stock
HDTurbo Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 ^this, or you could try putting some diluted anti-freeze on it. I say this becz the shop that replaced my radiator spilled some on my p'dipped grill and it bubbled the p'dip!! Shouldn't hurt the finish, but you could try it on a small area...
SMielke Posted April 1, 2015 Author Posted April 1, 2015 A buddy of mine told me wd40 works. I might try that when I take it to the car wash. I'm afraid to do the antifreeze since I live in an apartment complex.
NewLegGT67 Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 I had the same problem the first time I painted the lower part of my bumper. The second time I made sure to apply/paint no more than 6" from surface. I got some Dip Dissolver from DipYourCar.com. I'm probably the only person that has Wu-Tang Clan and Paul McCartney on their mp3.
SMielke Posted April 4, 2015 Author Posted April 4, 2015 I used WD40. It worked ok but it took a ton of elbow grease. Next time I dip them I going to use twice the dip. I wasn't sure how blaze orange would look on black so I took it off to be safe. I want to try a bunch of colors before I decide on a final color choice.
