I actually wanted to try purple wheels but at the time I did my wheels the only color they had was gunmetal. I dont know about white but I think black and purple would look sexy as hell! lol let me know if you do purple wheels I wanna see them

also if you dip your car in another color other than white. lol wanted to dip my car but I wanna see how some other balts come out first

No don't clear over it lol. It holds up pretty well as long as you don't pressure wash it. He touched up a few spots and said you couldn't even tell were you fix it. The more coats you put on the better it does.

the whole point of plastidip is you can peel it off when you dont want it anymore. clearing it would defeat the purpose. plus youd have to use a real spray gun and booth and stuff if you wanted good results, which also defeats the purpose.

I used the glossifier on my wheels and it wasnt really that huge of a difference. Did about 4 coats of it and can barely even tell that its there

yeah lol I have like the lowest pressure setting when washing my wheels. Im scared theyll peel. But when I had them black they wouldnt really get dirty at all. They always looked clean. Black plastidip is a real clean color and easy to keep clean im guessing lol

I would just wash it gently with a microfiber cloth. Plasti dip isn't meant to be a permanent thing on cars/wheels. Just let's you switch it up for a little bit. I would never do a whole car just because of the time it takes and eventually it would start coming off. But if it does peel that section off and spray it again.

The roof is supposed to be the hardest part of the car to plastidip due to runs and drips since your spraying downward and not sideways. Might be less hassle just to wrap the roof. But if it fails just peel the plasti dip right off.


Here's a video guide of how to do your car. Spray gun works the best and makes the process quicker.

And here's slobalt22's original thread on it. https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/appe...cobalt-276428/
