Plasti dipped 162 wheels

AcutypeS · 09-21-2012, 04:14 PM

Not sure exactly how I feel about them, but I think I'll keep them like this for a little while.

Wheels look pretty good, make the chrome and silver trim items stand out though.

balgopi · 09-21-2012, 04:27 PM

Is that smoke plasti dip or just one small coat of black?

woptang22 · 09-21-2012, 04:52 PM

Im liking the look. Id say keep it a while. But what color plasti dip is that? it doesnt look like the normal flat black? Kinda grayish looking....

Cisco661 · 09-21-2012, 05:21 PM

i think that is the gun metal. i have mine dipped with the regular dip and these look alot better. did you use glossifier. i also have monaco blue. i like this look.

Looks like you did one half ass coat?

If not how many did you do?

Bimmer Barney · 09-21-2012, 05:24 PM

Sucks that you lost control and ended up on the grass while posing for the pictures.

It's the glare and the shade in different spots. I thought the same but when I looked at them in different angles it looked the same. That's 4 coats matte black and 2 coats of the silver metalizer.

Thanx for all the feedback guys

Phil325 · 10-22-2012, 09:38 AM

yea at angles it looks uneven but not bad

Alen E90 · 10-22-2012, 11:00 AM

i really like it a lot, and the first pic looks amazingggg

rx7gslse · 10-22-2012, 10:01 PM

pics aren't close enough to critique the workmanship, but that makes the boring 162s look a lot better...

I like it! good color...

Be very interested to see how they hold up to brake dust etc..

liang · 10-22-2012, 10:58 PM

I'll be trying this next spring.

How are you washing your wheels now? I presume you can't scrub them with a brush anymore?
