Best Wheel Paint?

[RedRamIt]

I'm wanting to paint the stock rims on my '98 Ram 1500 black. Does anyone have any recommendations on paint type/brand?

Plasti dip only way to go unless powder coating

 

[RedRamIt]

No powder coating. Is plasti dip a DIY thing?

 

[GhostRam94]

Oh yeah, clean and spray, look around most people on the forum use it on just about anything

 

[RedRamIt]

Yeah, I've seen alot about it, but never really looked into it.
Thanks for your imput! I'll definitely look into it.

No problem, stuff peels right off if you don't like it or mess up so no worries on screwing up or not liking it

I would really give this stuff a try ecspecially with the price of it.i did my rims, bumpers, grille, steps, emblems, a pillars and the only one to do tail lights and 3rd brake light. Stuff is amazing and you will get hooked on it

Plasti dip is great stuff

if you want a flat or matte look plasti dip, if you want a gloss look you will have to try regular paint

you plasti diped your lights? now I might have to give this a try!

plasti dip is not a tint...no light will shine through if you paint your tail lights with it.

so why not just use a vht nightshades or tint....has to look much better than a blotchy light coat of plasti dip

 

[GhostRam94]

actually it cam out very even and i wanted to be able to remove it, now next time i will use vht but this is a experiment that i wanted to try and i liked it so i kept it. it really went well with all the flat black on my truck anyways

 

[quietpeen]

cool...i just remember my first light coat of plasti dip being blotchy.

unless you get the plasti dip smoke that one will let it shine through

 

[GhostRam94]

yea trust me i was very nervous about doing it but it worked out pretty great... and i have gotten pulled over a few times and no cop has said anything because you can still see the red in the reflector and it lets out a good amount of light

I always hear about this plasti dip. Where can I get some at? Is it in a spray can and how much do I need for all four of my wheels?

 

[RedRamIt]

You can get plasti dip at your local hardware store, it's in a spray can. I picked up 4 cans when I did my wheels, but I had a little extra.
