Plasti Dipped 19" stock rims - Glossy
Decided to plasti dip/paint my stock 19s to glossy black. End result was somewhat decent; could have been better if I waiting more than 15 minutes between coats.
Steps I took:
1. Plasti Dipped the wheels (3 coats)
2. Sprayed gloss black gloss paint over plasti dip (2 coats)
3. Sprayed clear coat over paint (1 coat)
Let me know what you think.
Prep work (used index cards.. went to Walmart and found these.. 100 pack for $0.50):
PD 1st coat:
PD 2nd coat:
PD 3rd coat:
Paint 1st coat:
Paint 2nd coat:
Finished 1 (you can see the that the paint didn't come out completely smooth):
Finished 2 (can't really tell from afar.. I'm content with it):
I'll post up some pics in the sun tomorrow since it's dark out.
Props to ILL_G for the help*

thanks bro, appreciate the help.
actually, i didn't know you could sand plasti dip.. but as i can remember, everything came out perfectly until i added the clear coat. either that or my 2nd coat of paint was too thick -- this may have caused the bubbles.
the plasti dip acts as a primer. not only does using it allow you to skip the sanding but it also acts as a shield for your stock surface. this is removable "paint" but only comes in a matte finish which is why i painted gloss on top.
i also heard that if you don't let the plasti dip fully dry, adding paint on top can change the characteristics of the plasti dip rendering ability to be reversed useless. i'm seriously hoping this is not true cuz then i'd be f'd in the event i ever wanted to go back to stock.
you plasti dipped > primed > painted > cleared?
