Hey is there a way to make the plasti dip rims look shiny instead of dull

Tire foam.... **** works awesome and really beings out the shine in them

this pic is with Turtle wax tire foam (Best IMO) when the sun hit's them they really shine

^^ no doubt.. idk what it is about the tire foam but it works way better than any spray can or squirt bottle.. I tried a lot of **** before I landed on the foam.

Just gives it that shiny look.

Thanks for all the compliments and glad u guys like it. Will spray the other 3 wheels this week and see how i like it after i drive it a few times and get a good look at it. That's the one good thing about going this route, if ever i decide to go back to stock, just peel it right off. Gonna leave the bumpers alone for a while, wife is about ready to kill me with all the truck mods i've done lately lol

Hope so^^ my first time w plasti dip hope it turns out.

for those that have used plasti dip...do you apply in thin coats or do you try to get a good even coverage

 

[wermbang]

I did a thin first coat, and then heavy after that. the thicker it is the easier it will make it for peeling off if you don't like, plus gives a thicker protection

What luke said.. I always start thin bexausse I found that if you try to apply really thick at first you will get a cluster or blotches of bubbles that looks like your truck has the herps..... So start thin and then keep applying thicker coats as you go along.

Plastidip is my kind of mod if I ever decided to get rid of the chrome on my truck I would definitely use it.

I used plasti dip on my teenagers mouth but it did not work.

Are you planning on spraying the wheel while it is still on the truck or removing the wheels?
