TheFinalSprout Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I plastidipped my rims a few weeks back and i have noticed that rubbing it a little to hard with a towel can cause the paint to start to peal a little. has anyone else had any issues with this or problems with a car wash?

Drift Motion Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 ^ your coating is probably not thick enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine has been on there for almost 6 months now and it still looks good, no peeling and i scrub it to get it clean... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sofi Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Hey, I came across this car on the street dipped from head to toe. The owner of the car actually works for a Plasti Dip company here in Chicago. He said their site was DIPPEDCARS.com so I checked it out and it looks pretty sweet, seems like they have some experience and good prices too plus they'll let you pick up from them so you don't have to pay crazy shipping costs.

sofi Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I think I'm going to do it...I don't mind not having the door jambs done as long as it doesn't show when the door are closed from the outside or the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aac0036 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Dipped 2 wheels today, doing the other 2 tomorrow. 3 coats of black and 4 silver metalizer. Have center cap overlays coming in from Doc as well! Edit: Checked on the wheels this morning and the 3 coats of metalizer still looked pretty black to me in different light, so I added a heavy 4th and 5th coat.

aac0036 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Decided to add more layers of metalizer because the stock 5 spokes are relatively flat, and with less metal flake they them look dark )low reflectiveness.) With multi-spoke wheels (page 2) you may be able to get away with less layers since there are more curves. 3 layers of black Plasti-dip, 5 coats of silver metalizer preview: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bootsie Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 So I am new to this plasti-dip thing but I would love to black out the chrome on my grill... Does plasti-dip just peel off without damaging the underlying surface when you want to remove it? What do you have to do to prep the area? Just clean well? It would be worth trying if it is possible to just peel it off if I decide I don't want it anymore or don't like it, but I don't want to risk any damage to the grill...
