Plasti Dip Vs Autodip

[CCK]

I'd go with plastidip just due to durability and availability (you can buy it at almost any hardware store). My car background is solely rooted in 4runners and before I ordered aftermarket wheels I plastidipped my stock ones. They came out very even and looked painted. They help up to brush, branches, and dirt extremely well when off-roading or driving through trails. Like the others have said make sure you spray it on in layers, the first 2 or 3 so it lightly and then work your way thicker and thicker each time until you get to about 10 layers. I would also wait until it's consistently about 70 degrees or higher throughout the day so it sprays evenly.

i plasti dipped my wheels last weekend and i would def reccommend 10 coats. prep is everything. make sure everything is clean and dry and masked off at least. (needle and tire). I would also reccomend masking off the inner wheel if you dont want to deal with peeling them off later. 10 coats or more will make it peel off easily and removal a breeze.

It leaves a very rubbery texture on the wheels. dirt and small rocks can stick to it as well. and it seems to be holding up well.

I was in this same dilemma, I wanted to plastidip my wheels and came across autodip and didn't know which one to use. My cousin had his truck wheels dipped and it was an easy application but I did notice that they were rubbery/sticky to the touch. I did some research on plastidip and came across autodip and the one thing I liked about it was that it had a non rubbery/sticky feel to it. I wash my car a lot and wanted something that was smooth and could be easily wiped down. I went with matte black autodip and happy with how it turned out. Like everybody else is saying pre is key, I read up on a lot of forum post and videos on how to do it (this was the my first time ever spraying wheels so its not 100%).
