Stockers dipped blaze blue
 
Went ahead and changed my color from black to blue. I definitely learned the hard way not to use clearcoat over the flat black! Helluva pain to get all of the old dip off.

Just a couple pics

Not my style (liked the black better) but creative. Looks like you did a good job too!

Yea I liked the black but I ended up curbing a wheel after hitting something rather large in the road. I figured I would try another color for a couple months.

It didn't really turn out as well as I had hoped though. Looks great until you get right up on it. Everything looks good except for the space between the wheel and tire since I just used the notecards. Took forever though since I wanted it to look good!

If you have any left over just spray it again without the notecards, it will peel right off of the tire. I did one with the cards then the rest without, it comes off the tire easy. Why didn't you just spray the blue right over the black?

Since I had to peel off one of them, I figured I would do all of them.

When you dip w/o cards, do you have to cut it anywhere? I tried dipping my badges and it went pretty bad. I ended up just peeling it all off.

No cutting, the break between the tire and wheel does the trick, mine just peeled right off(did have to scrub a bit to clean out some of the letters)

And if you want them glossy, use the Plasti Dip glossifier, it peels off with the regular Plasti Dip.

I like it! Color stock wheels look a lot better than I thought.

Good to hear. I'll definitely do that next time. Seems way easier too.

Yep, I even gave up on masking the valve stems after the first one. When you're done just take off the cap and peel off the extra.
