So you used Plasti-dip as the base coat? and painted over the dip?

I might do this tomorrow.
Yup, just make sure to use atleast 3 coats of plasti_dip. If you're going for a black look you can just use plasti dip and clear coat that, but its not that glossy. If you want a more glossy finish then paint over it.

Sorry for the delay on closer pics guys, I've been too busy to clean the G and take decent pics. Plus its getting cold out here. I'll have em up soon.

No, Rustoleum is just the brand name of the paint. Ok i think some people may be confused about this method. I used plasti-dip as the primer or base coat. On top of that i sprayed it with bronze. The plasti-dip is peel-able so if you curb the wheels the plasti-dip WILL peel along with the paint because the paint is on the dip. Hope that makes sense.

Better pics coming soon
