Looks good man

I did mine maybe about a year or so ago and they are still holding up great, and they been in all the different elements.

Nice. i like the look of white trucks with black rims.

 

[ADDCJ]

do you use the same prep process as paint? clean,scuff ect.??

 

[wermbang]

Nope. Just clean it. With scuffing it you might as well paint it. The plasti dip is nice since it can be removed, and won't harm whats underneath it.

Sweet look, I almost started to do this to my wheels, but was wondering if that affects the balance much. Anyone pick up a shimmy or shudder? Planning to practice on my gas door for technique, but any issues with driveability?

 

[quietpeen]

sweet

 

[wermbang]

this is light weight I doubt it will affect the balance of the rims

It was raining last night and I just had to go out and have some fun with the wet roads haha and the plasti-dip still looks in pretty good shape...

 

[TheMaddog]

So sick man. I like it

 

[jtoscano19]

Thanks man..I still gotta do the red calipers

Thanks man..I still gotta do the red calipers

Low key. I would make them white, it'd be 1 off, and match the truck. I think it'd be sweet if you did that. But it's your call

 

[jtoscano19]

I was thinking white at first but you'll always see all the brake dust over them

 

[quietpeen]

unless you go with black you are going to see brake dust, and to keep them looking good you have to clean them

 

[jtoscano19]

yeah but with the white i think youll notice it a lot more

 

[quietpeen]

oh i agree....LOL

 

[jtoscano19]

how would be best to paint them? Spay or brush on??

 

[shostopper17]

Any suggestion on plastic dipping my 20's. I have the least bit of knowledge on how to do them or where to get the materials needed. i know noob status lmao

 

[jtoscano19]

It's really easy just take the wheels off and start painting them. I was scared of doing them at first, but its super easy. I did 5 coats on mine and they came out pretty good.
I picked up 3 cans at Lowes..

 

[wermbang]

Yeah its pretty simple to do, its easier than painting with spray cans. its hard to make this stuff run. 5 coats is usually a good number, thats how many I got on my rims and what not. start off with light coats and work your way up in thickness.
