Plasti Dip Anthracite Wheels

[8UWITH6]

I did this today to protect my factory wheels from the winter weather. It is the Anthracite color and I must say it turned out pretty well. I did a light 1st coat and let it flash for 15 minutes. Then a heavier 2nd coat about 20 minutes. 3rd coat I put on as heavy as possible and let it sit for 30 - 45 minutes (2 beers) and they looked great. But I did a final 4th coat just to be safe and for ease of removal in the spring because I do love the factory wheels. Just thought I would share. Pretty easy process really, just lots of prep. Now I am looking for more stuff to plasti dip.

Gonna do TagAlong's wheels next!

Looks amazing when I get an extra set I am doing this set up , how hard would you say it was to put on the Rim from 1-10??

PREP was time consuming. Spraying the product was the easiest part.

Not usually a fan of painted rims, but these look really good...:banana:

a few things I've learned from plasti-dipping.

1. this can gun helps a lot. whether your project is small or large. allows so much better control.

2. if you run into a situation where the plasti-dip was sprayed too lightly/improperly so that is doesn't peel off nicely. PB Blaster is your friend. Spray it on the plastidip, let it work into it for 30-60 seconds then you can use a fingernail or something similar to just scrape it off.

This was Zacks idea years ago. It looks nearly identical to his.

with my impact gun, jack and stands, this is a 3 at most. Unless I forget to switch the gun to counter clockwise like last time. Then it becomes exceedingly more difficult. :lol:

Yes. They are similar. His is permanent mine is temporary. I was going to do black but last minute decided to try the new anthracite plasti dip.

Looks Good !!, Winter is coming on Fast and I think it won't be mild !

I'm curious how would you clean them?

 

[8UWITH6]

My car never gets dirty enough to worry about that, LOL. But seriously there is a chemical recommended by dipyourcar.com that doesnt harm the finish. I will more than likely just use soap and water and a microfiber.

FWIW it actually looks much darker today outside than it does in the pictures posted. I am very happy with it.
