Holds up great. Next time I wash the car, I'll snap some photos. Had it on there since, every time I look at it I like it more and more. Holds up great to just about everything thrown at it so far.

 

sweet, im gonna wait till next month when it gets warmer.... ive done enuf mods and rotor and pads in the cold.

 

thanks a lot for these pics

can u send me some more/larger and different views?i have a cobalt 2lt looks just like your car and i am about to do an evo mod on it in a couple of days. i was trying to decide on what part of the wheels i want painted

 

hmm im not sure if i have any bigger/better pics but i'll look and see what i've got

 

did you just clean ur wheels off and then go over them with the dip? or did you do any sanding? i have the same wheels you can see in my sig and i was just wondering... cus this is a very cheap yet decent way to color ur rims... doing this and the evo mod before may

 

i just wiped em off with a wet cloth since i didnt have any other cleaners handy and just sprayed em when they were dry. no sanding is needed and the plasti-dip held up great until i peeled it off for the winter. i plan to redo my evo mod and wheels as soon as the weather warms up a bit

 

Say, you get some over spray or whatever. You can just wait till it drys the kinda take it off with your finger nail or something?

 

i dont see why not, i was pretty cautious while applying the dip to my wheels since i did it with em on the car so i didnt have any over spray, at least not that i ever noticed. same with the evo mod as well.

 

hmm, I'll have to try this soon.

 

seems like it would run with it still on the car

 

haha thats awesome, plus you can paint over it with gloss or even another color if you wanted.

I might just try this see how it looks, not sure how it would be on a Sport Red if I dont like it no biggie.

 

i didnt have any issues with the plasti-dip running

 

running? like after you sprayed it on?
also, im assuming you took each wheel off, to get inside the entire rim? how much dip did it take?

EDIT you did it with the wheels on, i had to read it again. sorry

 

yeah i sprayed the wheels while they were still on the car but i didnt have any issues with the plasti-dip running. the possibility of it was definitely on my mind but in the end everything was fine, no runs at all





i honestly dont remember how many cans i used, i wanna say i had 4 though and used whatever was left for the evo mod

also, this is how i did the wheels, i got the card idea from a thread on this site a while ago and it actually works rather well...

 

hmm and you covered the brakes/rotors and such with...? looks like plastic as well. haha yeah i went to a site for infinity g35s and this guy was doing the same card idea, but he took his wheels off... would savesome time, just gotta take the wheel off and put the cards on.

 

its just a plastic bag covering the brakes etc I had a bunch of em out in the garage so I figured why not haha

 

I hand painted my Third brake light and I spent more time on the masking part to avoid overspray / over stroking onto my WHITE paint. Every little fuckup with dark additives show up on white even worse than black. I intend on doing this when it warms up a bit more and theres actual sunlight.

My project for today is wrapping my tail-light in vinyl with custom lettering on it. But I have to clean all the paint off it first.

 

i still have stuff laying around ugh, i have ss/sc springs and a b&m shiftplus to install...

 

I did mine with vynl that way i dont have to worry about any of that stuff

 

probably much easier to just take each wheel off at a time. and u dont have to tape up parts of the car

this haha, its not hard to take your wheels off.

 

Just bought the 3M Spray from Autozone. Going to work on it this week. Busy day tomorrow and I doubt I'll have time to do it without needing my car.

 

i have one of those 4 way things... but a decent torque wrench would be more acceptable
