Experiences with plasti dip
 

Anybody have any experieces?

what are you trying to dip?

I was just about to post something similar to this! I see a lot of members on the forum who have dipped their wheels.

Anyone have a firestorm with gold dipped wheels? I want to see what it looks like before I get it done myself!

Wheels. They are bronze and i wanna go to gunmetel or hyper silver.

I agree. I just dont want it to look like shit when i do it. Ive watched videos and they made it look easy as hell.

@peace_noel has a firestorm with gold dipped wheels.

@Chen Personally, I don't like the matte look of plastidip, but I haven't seen any with the metalizer sprayed on top of it. Kevin seems to be able to keep his car pretty clean, but I think it's cause he pressure washes it pretty religiously.

I'm trying to go back to the hyper silver or gun metel finish.

Yea I'm wondering how it looks with the finishes as well. Don't laugh but I wanna do the inside of the spokes of the stock wheels pink.

I am first timer on the plasti dip stuff too, but it actually is much easier then you thought it would be.

I would just recommend holding the can about half the distance, or even less, away from whatever you're painting than you would if you were spray painting it. If you hold the plastidip can too far away, it creates a fuzzy-textured extra-super-duper-matte finish. Unless that's what you want, then it's perfect.

Looks great Leon. You mind helping me paint mine when I get the paint? I was told Home Depot actually sells it as well. What did you end up spending? And you got 6 cans total?

Thanks for the input

I got my plasti dip wheel package from dipyourcar.com
4 cans of Vintage Gold and 2 cans of Glossifier. I had checked out on 2 HomeDepot (Mall205 & Clackamas), they only carry certain colors of the plasti dip. So far as I know, they only have black, white, red, blue and glossifier. I don't see they carry metalizer at all. I would love to help out if you need, just let me know in advance. usually off on weekends.

I dip my emblem

What do you want to know?

I dipped my whole car yellow. Deff some flaws as I was figuring things out but now I've dipped a couple other cars and have a pretty good general idea.

I have also done a bunch of the colour combos as well

Edit: I would buy from home depot if you don't plan to dip your wheels any of the newer vintage colours as you can order all the regular anr blaze colours from home depot (order online and pick up at store) shipping is free if its over 60 and wait time is a lot less than dipyourcar

A guy from Portland came to last week's 86 nights meet driving a FRS that was plastidipped flat orange. Most dipped cars have a very rough texture, but this car was much smoother, and the dip was spread evenly with no heavy spots. Basically, he did a top-notch job, and it looked really good, almost like a wrap when standing 1ft+ away. He was also a professional auto body guy so that probably helped.

@Chen why not talk to kevin on how he did his?

Kevin bought the spray gun kit.

Well as of now I'm curious on how to remove it. The first coat sat to long and when I peel it. It comes off in small chunks.

I am very tempted to dip my winter wheels (05 wrx) black, maybe with the gloss stuff.

Actually interested in dipping my car a different color too =D. Been watching some videos on youtube from Dipyourcar, but have no experience doing it myself. Is digitalassasin's car dipped? I'll have to see it sometimes to see how it looks.

For anyone that has dipped their stock rims, did you take off the wheels and dipped the back of them as well, or did you just do the front face of the wheels along with the sides of the spokes and left the inside of the wheel the way it was? I'm asking because I'm going to be dipping my stockers as soon as I get the winter tires on so I can give the wheels a little more protection.
Is the dip going to be really vulnerable if i don't get the back of the wheels as well?

His car is dipped. Looks great imo. I want to do it to mine as well.

My friend and I just spent all of yesterday plasti dipping his 1991 Toyota Pickup and we did an awesome job with the black....then he ruined it by trying to clear coat it

It's a great product IMO
