did you guys had to sand the wheels first befor painting them?

 

I've had stuff done for 3-4 years now, still looks like the day it was done

 

Hey guys, considering dipping the trunk...any tips and how long did it take you? I plan on using rattle cans, did the rims awhile back and it came out nice, ima pretty decent painter tho. Bumps for tips!

 

No! No reason to do any sanding at all. Just clean them

 

i did my trunk, took about 3 trys before we got it looking decent with the rattle can, kept coming out streaky as hell, coulda been cuz it was a pretty humid day, never did go back and try it again but oh well no big

 

MixKwik - Aerosal Can & Spray Paint Shaker

if you use this it will make the cans spray flawlessly

 

^^ i guess if i was over hand shaking cans, but i guess i am not to that point yet. Hand shaken comes out perfect as well, just got to know how to do it lol

 

 

Why'd u do the whole hood?

 

I only had the middle done at first and it was streaked real bad and last week i re did the whole hood. Haven't taken the time to put it back the way it was.

 

I did the bottom line of mine last weekend and love it!!

 

Yeah me too. Love the look of it too. Needed something like that haha.

 

Anyone have any pics of white plasti-dip'd rims?

 

What kind of wheels do you have?

has anyone dipped something to gloss black and put it on a black car? i have a white high rise that ive been trying to trade for a while for a black high rise. but no luck so im thinking of dipping it for now. if it looks good then ill keep it but if not then im back to square one lol

 

be our tester try it out and see how it works!!

 

Nice, gonna have to try this on my saab wheels

 

So, plastidip or paint for my wheels? Want to do the euro style wheels, but can't decide if I wanna go glossy to make it look less "homemade" or plasti incase I wanna peel it off.

 

I like using the dip because i can peel it any time, plus any color you want them

 

Plan on Plasti-Dipping rims, then painting inside spokes victory red over the Plasti-Dip, followed by some clear coat...
Any thoughts on my Victory Cobalt SS?

 

Paint over plasti-dip can be tricky. Doesn't like to peel clean every time.
Still works if you lay the dip on thick enough but it ends up peeling in tiny flakes instead of one big rubberish sheet.

 

Thanks, however I wouldn't be too concerned about taking it off. I guess I was questioning the clear coat for the paint opposed to some glossifier for the dip

 

If you don't plan on taking it off you might as well paint all of it right? If you wanna go the plastidip route I'd def. do the clear coat vs the glossifier.

 

i baught black plastidip, and did my bowtie, looks fine, but when i wanted to do my evo mod, it looked like crap, when it was still wet, so i cleaned it off, is that how plastidip is intill it drys?
