Yup. I too am interested in this gentleman's suggestion. Bring on the firestorm pics.

I'm trying to find some plasti dip locally (seems harder and twice as expensive to find in Canada...)

If I can either find bronze, gold, or gun metal I'll do my rims on my Firestorm just to see what it looks like

If you have an Auto Electric or Home Hardware near by you can get it for about 11-15 dollars a can

Or at Lowes...for 24

Dipmycar.com? Might be cheaper to get a kit

DIE1000DEATHS · 04-12-2013, 05:06 PM

Just made my order on dipyourcar.com and it was $59 including the Predip spray for a gloss kit...

I can use the canada equivalent but it still comes out to 17 a can with shipping. We'll see though trying to get a hold of a local supplier and see if I can get better pricing. Going to try either bronze or gold on a firestorm if I can

Just white.

WillBRZ · 04-13-2013, 01:02 AM

I can't believe how expensive it is in canada. Plastidip is $6-7 dollars a can here...

My results...

My wheels are Monets... Looks good from afar but up close, far from good. But you really have to get close to see the flaws.

Not bad for a first attempt, I expect my painting technique really needs work. Reminds me of the semi-flat gold Rota Formels I had on my WRX wagon.

No close ups... didn't want to ruin my day.

I think the biggest problem that I had was trying to get all the spokes done evenly. I started off just shooting at 90 degrees and doing non-overlapping passes, it worked for the most part, but the sides of the spokes didn't come out the way I liked, but when I tried to paint each spoke, it went on way too heavy and started to cause runs.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to actually approach the painting part for those of us who are beginners at this type of thing?

What if you also plati-dipped your trim in that color! It'd look like a tron vehicle or something at night.

i actually used orange and gold metalizer, that's why it "pops" jajaja
