Default Question on plastic dip for rims

I want to paint my stock rims black, I love the idea of plastic dip because I dont want to mess up my rims and I know with d/p it just peels off easy. But what I don't like is that it's a flat black, so my question is if there is anything that I can put on the rims after I paint it with the dip to make it get a glossy look? I want them to glossy like the ones like the rs7... I don't want to spray something
On them after I paint them and mess the paint up or my rims.. Thanks

You can use any type of gloss and you can paint any color over the plastidip just make sure u get all the spots or it will be a pain to get the paint off...I use plastidip cause I change the color of my wheels like every month lol

I dont know about you guys, but I used plastidip and had it on for about 6 months, plenty of coats and when I went to peel it off, it came up in little pieces. Took a good 6 hours per side to take off.

That's what I was thinking but I wasn't sure if there would be a reactions that would mess up the plastic dip..

Another question, when I paint the rims do I have to paint the inside part? I have watched a few videos on how to paint rims and I haven't seen anyone paint the inside.

If u use a different color then yea I would paint the inside or cover it. So the paint don't get on it. If ur just doing plastidip and clear gloss you don't have to paint inside the rim.
