Going to white plasti dip my new ss/tc wheels.
need to know how far to go.
as in do i do the entire inside of the rim?
hard to explain but any feedback and tips would be appreciated!

 

Do all of the rim.

 

all the way from the front to the back. like the inside? all of it?

just to be clear.

thanks

 

No not the other side. Just the part you can see.

 

Thats what I thought. Thanks

 

Post pics when you're done. What color car do you have

 

make sure u put some type of clear coat over it, plasti dip is a pain in the assss to clean. Stuff just clings to it ... and your white is going to be brake dust central. Just a heads up

 

Clear coat is a must?

Car is black wingless with white badges and chevy emblem on front is white also

 

if you use tire shine on your tires just wipe a little bit on the plasti-dip and that will give it a little bit of a gloss and keep things from sticking to it better...

 

With black car, I'd do the wheels black also. just like they said above, the brake dust will be a lot less visible.

 

don't let them talk you out of white... so you have to wipe your rims down more often? if you love you car tou should want to keep them clean

looking forward to pic of it and your other white accents

 

Black car with white rims looks good. I want to try it on mine. Too many people have black cars with black rims.

 

White car with white rims! FTW!!!

 

Yeah im doin it forsure. SC wheels for sale also! But I need to know...

Clear coat on rims is a must?

Also ive heard 4 to 7 light coats is better than 3 thick coats.

Opinions? Experiances?

Thanks!

 

I did mine black and I only did 3 coats. It turned out good. And I didn't do clear

 

If you do clear, it'll be a B**** to take off... it will come off in small pieces.. If you must, use plasti dip glossifier. Better yet, google dipyourcar.com videos, they have some good pointers and comparisons. They also walk you through how to mask off brakes, how many coats, how thick, and why.


About white rims on black car, I'm not sure how that would look. I might plasti dip my car white one day, and leave the rims black, we'll see how that will look.

 

Hmmmm im doin white and ill look into the glossifier. But would regular gloss work my mechanic has some on hand actually

 

Ya regular will work. I've used plasti dip on interior pieces and I used regular clear coat

 

It will, it will be harder to peel off, almost defeating the purpose for some.

Have you tried peeling it off since then?

 

No because I don't plan to peel it off because I just did it until I get Oem black pieces.

 

If I go white I doutb ill go back. I just want them done right when I do em.

*doubt

 

Powdercoat

 

So whats the glossifier? Better than regular gloss?

 

Yeah why don't you just powdercoat them and save yourself all this trouble?

But if you aren't powdercoating and using plastidip, don't use regular clear/glossing coating. That basically defeats the purpose of plastidip. Either use the plastidip gloss or don't clear it at all and just have fun wiping em down and keeping em clean as stated above.
White however would look really nice on a black car with some white accents. In for pics

 

Damn straight!

And OP, I know we already chatted about it but don't let anyone talk you outta white. Its not that hard to clean, sure they get dirty easy but it's a lot better than having black on black like everyone else.
