So has anybody used anything other than the glossifier to give a nicer finish? Annoying that it isn't available in Canada.

Home Hardware does have it. You have to put in your postal code to get the closest store to you, then it will give you a price. It's $20 a can where I am! Our dollar is at par, yet we still get f***** in the price change.

I got my Plasti-Dip in Red Deer at Home Hardware, they were the only ones that had the spray cans and only Black, Clear, Red, and White. They were $20 bucks a can.

To make it shine without glossifier, I'm hoping the clear plasti-dip would do the trick, but if not, a couple layers of clear coat should do the trick.

Any clear coat gloss will work.

So I've decided to just leave my rims black for the moment (They still look way better than before). I was a little nervous about taping off the parts I wanted painted Gold, and the risk was too high for the paint to run into places it wasn't supposed to be.

After the Plasti-dip has been on there for a week or two I'll try with the gold over top. Was thinking a sort of pin-strip look on them. My friend photoshopped it and I think it will look good, but it will take some steady hands and careful masking to make it look right.

I'll put some pics up as soon as I get the rims back on the car.

And it's not as sticky as painters tape, it should peel it up fine over dry Plasti Dip.

Yea, sorry guys. It's bullshit cause a few of my buddies came over for some beer pong and were drinking Stone all night. The computer is in the game room and was open to this thread. One of my buddies admitted later that he got on saw the thread and posted that ****. Sorry to all lol. Funny thing is that I'm plastidipping my wheels today. Wish me luck.
