got tired of my rims so i switched up the color. used plastidip and spray paint. cheap and temporary way to spruce up your wheels. opinions?

 

Plastidip then paint?

 

Plastidip first then paint, makes the paint semi-permanent bc you can just peel off later

 

I heard paint over plasti dip makes it permanent..

 

one of m buddies did it already and it still peels off. it just isn't as easy. i used 2 coats of plastidip and 3 coats of paint.

 

sorry not feeling it at all. Makes your car look cheap.

 

Cheap like your cheap foglights?

OP likes them, makes the car stand out + it's an easy way to change the look of your car, even if it's temporary. Granted I'm on the fence about plastidip but to each his/her own.

 

What fog lights? Don't have any at the moment. But its my opinion and if the OP likes it then more power to him/her.

 

did you have to mix the plasti dip yourself and used a spray gun? cuz they don't sell colored ones in cans =\ the paint you used afterward, you sprayed blue over blue or you used clear coat? rims look good ;]

 

I think they look good for a self job! When you take your time and think everything out then you can come out with a good ending result, which is a way to save money but change things up... Great Job in making the B yours!

 

I think they look great!

 

thanks for all the compliments guys. like i said, it's temporary and a great way to try out a rim color in real life for cheap. i've gotten tons of compliments on them.

 

i used rattle cans, pin stripe and blue tape. no mixing. i just masked off and went in. super easy but time consuming.

i used a white base of plastidip then blue paint. i decided to not use clear but i guess you could. i personally like matte finishes.

 

here's a little better pic.

 

Once again. Damn sexy haha.

 

not a big fan of the blue but i appreciate the effort. how is the paint holding up?

 

how'd you black out ur headlights?

 

^bake them open and spray away at the chrome colored insert.

 

I like the blue. Did you use platidip on the bumper, hood, and roof too? Looks great!

 

yea did you plasti dip the hood? i might have too
