I was looking to get my rims plasti-dip'd black and was wondering where to get this done and roughly how much it would cost. Are there places that would supply the plasti-dip too or would I have to purchase it separately? Thanks

People tend to do this themselves. You can't really make a mistake on this because they can be peeled off and redo it, if necessary.

I have yet to hear anyone took the wheels to the shop and let them charge $100 labor ??

Dipyourwhip.ca

They charge $140. I didn't get my rims done there just a quote.

I agree. I have used the can and the liquid form with a paint sprayer. The sprayer is a lot smoother if your painting lets say a car, but if you want the rims, go to home hardware, and buy yourself $20 worth of cans and save the $$$.

Pre paint is always the most important (masking the areas you dont want painted, etc.) Also eventually you'll see chips from rocks and things on rims, you can either repaint that single wheel, or just touch it up.

Don't pay someone to do this.

lol 20$ worth of cans, soo.. like 19/20ths of a can? its like 21$ at home hardware for a SINGLE can, good thing my dad goes to the states a lot, brought me back 4 cans for 22 bucks. win

Crazy price lol they're regularly 2/$8 at my local Home Depot

Apply THICK!!! You do not want to skimp on application, as removal will be a pain in the ass with less than 2-4 coats

Last time I purchased some at Home Hardware, the flat black was around $10 but ya the states is the place to buy it from.

For anyone who is interested, Plasti Dip is currently 25% off at Part Source.
I picked up a couple of cans for $14.99 each.
It's not as cheap as it is in the States, but it's better than the pricing at Home Hardware.

Your driveway......$25.00

Just do it yourself. 6 cans did the job for me. Also, I did not remove my rims from the car (just masked the rotors with garbage bags).

how long does hte dip last usually before requiring refinishing?

[P-O-G-I]

call 6four7 two4two 0three38 and ask for Peter.

He is a plasti dip distributor; supplies alot of shows with their plasti dip. I know he does plasti dip work as well, on top of just selling the product.

(I got his info from other automotive forums as he is a sponsor)
