Was thinking of other mods I could do with limited funds. Went with Plastidip as a primer since I wanted an option if I didn't like how it turns out. Thank you @OmarGC for the inspiration!
Time spent: 5.5 hrs from jack-up to mounting, including cure time Total cost: ~$40 (2 cans of plastidip, 2 cans of Rustoleum Metalic Gold), masking tape and news paper I already had. Wife eye rolling not included . |

Not a fan of the red but that blue and gold is amazing.

Wow that actually looks really good. I was thinking, oh great another shitty wheel job. Pleasantly surprised. Good job!

I actually did a test plate with the bronze, like what the OP used, but was not that crazy about it. Almost settled with gold with a hint (1 coat) or bronze, but then got lazy and just went F it and just went with just gold. Pretty pleased with how it came out.
Not sure, that's the plus living in cali but I personally wouldn't recommend it if you have snow. The downside of using plastidip is that it is soft. I actually dinged a few spot while trying to put it back on. Could be because it was not completely cured though... not really sure. Quote:
Yes, its nice too since the black contrast gives you a really good idea of your coverage and what spots you need to hit some more/less. |
