Plasti dipped rims and grille

StevenMiami · 12-01-2013, 08:10 PM

Hey guys today I gave my car some love and gave her a new look.

I used 1 can of plastidip for all of this.

Edit: I gave it a couple of more coats!

Looks good. You need to get body colored reflectors next for sure.

BTW using only one can for all this might have been enough to coat the wheels, but you want multiple layers for durability...

Grills look sweet. I love style 189's. Is it just a winter look?

1 can of plastidip for all that...
that means you're going to have a lot of trouble removing them :S

Do you think it's safe to drive until tomorrow when I can add another couple of coats?

There's no such thing as winter here in Miami hahah. I was thinking of keeping it for a while.

jm3as · 12-02-2013, 01:06 PM

yea i'd put at least 4 coats on per wheel. thin light coats. if you can, aim for maybe 6-8 coats. it'll make you're life wayyyyy easier when removing and much more durable

OB · 12-02-2013, 01:26 PM

Mardio · 12-02-2013, 03:59 PM

MissE90 · 12-02-2013, 09:50 PM

MissE90 · 12-02-2013, 09:51 PM
