    Plastidiped my Rims 19" Talledega's *PICS* inside

    So I decided to have a crack at plastidiping, one word "WOW", It looks absolutely amazing and I cant express how robust this stuff is.... extremely easy. followed some guides I found on the internet and off I went, cost me $100 for 4 cans + spray gun delivered to my door - not to mention the AWESOME delivery time (6 hours from when I ordered to sitting for my door mat)

    Whole job took me a total of 4 hours which includes removing and reinstalling wheels on car. suggest you have 4 jack stands handy.

    Completely removable if you decide you dont like and finishes with a beatiful matte surface... It really makes the car look "TOUGH"





    Happy to answer any questions if you are interested in doing it. MORE PHOTOS TO COME

    I did mine in white, and they're impossible to clean

    Wouldn't you need to rebalance the wheels after?

    I got VWR Springs installed today so they rebalanced for me , this was 4 coats..... but I suggest using 5 as there can be some dull spots that show up later... I will do another coat this weekend

    Hi there..in the process of doing this now.

    2nd coat in after about an hours work on two wheels and it is coming up a little bubbly. The wheels were spotless as i washed the car then cleaned the wheels when i took them off (and they are only two weeks old anyway!)

    any tips as to what I might be doing wrong?

    Cheers
