Looks good Farley! I think I am going to do mine as well before putting them on for the winter.

Hopefully it does not snow for another week lol.

How durable is this stuff? I saw one guy at a meet, and it looked like it was chipping off in areas.

Is it safe to do this in the basement? Or should I do it in the garage (burr cold garage lol)

We did my buddies VW stock blades with plastidip last year, that stuff is awesome.

That was probably me. I'd say it holds up pretty well. Again, mine chipped because I foolishly sprayed them before mounting tires (RFT's at that) and only had 2 cans (for 4 wheels) so it was a thin layer.

If you do it properly (after the tires have been mounted/balanced, 1 can per wheel) it should come out nicely and very durable.

I posted a thread about it: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=524804

I will find out how durable it is when I put it though the car wash, but I did use all 4 cans with a 5th one to spare.

It's is safe to do in the basement with windows open, I did it in my apartments and it smelled really good, I think I got high for awhile. So make sure your windows are open!!

If I can get my rims looking all sexy, and I get high, then its completely worth the price

Those look like they turned out good. I go down to the states a couple days a week (its only about a 15 minute drive) one trip I picked up some plasti dip for my grills from home depot. Maybe I should get a few more cans and try to do my rims.

KCX_335xi · 11-25-2011, 07:53 PM

Awesome !

I should have done this too...

Havok_2011 · 11-30-2011, 11:32 AM

SHITTTTTT

Its snowing!! lol, going to go get the plasti dip today after work. Do them tonight, mount them tomorrow.

I am doing them WHITE btw lol

See what happens. Wonderful thing is if they look bad, I can take the plastic off at the end of the season

Havok_2011 · 11-30-2011, 02:23 PM

Just picked up 5 cans of white.

Hey Farley do you need the rest of your fifth can? Thinking of adding some black accents to my rims after I cover them in white.

That's cool, I can meet you when you get home after class. I will give you a ring first

Going to clean my rims tonight, maybe start on the spraying.
