Plasti-Dip My IROC-Z Wheels

I'm looking to have these plasti-dipped, but want to see a reference photo first before I buy anything. Please save your work in layers. I may want to swap around a few sections.

Here are the photos you can use.




Colors below. Try for both Glossified and Matte finishes. Thanks.

Matte Black - Lug Nut / IROC-Z Stripes / Triangle Holes Between Spokes

Re: Plasti-Dip My IROC-Z Wheels

Did you end up doing it? I have the previous style wheel on my 87 Iroc and I am considering coating my spare wheels which are currently on the car while my other set is at the shop awaiting polishing

I realize these aren't the same kind of wheels, however I think the plastic dip looks pretty good when finished. Tips on application: Spray thin layers, cover brake calipers, and apparently don't tape off for over-spray on the tires... when peeling off the tape you could peel off the entire plasti dip application.

I haven't done this and have it on hold (would still like some reference photos) due to a cracked radiator. Looking at a new cooling setup now. Thanks for looking. I'm still in the hopes to have this done.

Wheels will be off when doing this but thanks for the tips nonetheless.
