plasti dip'd 16" RS wheels
Bored this weekend 3 cans of black plastidip, 4 wheels. Left wheels on car. No masking. One thin coat, 3 heavy coats. Took 1 hour. Speed up drying time by using my kerosene heater between coats.

Re: plasti dip'd 16" RS wheels
Looks good. You do any kind of prep on the wheels first? Like strip the clear coat or anything?

Re: plasti dip'd 16" RS wheels
Just had the idea a few days ago to do this to mine, thinking I will since it looks so good.

Very nice. It gives them a new, yet classic, look.
