its rained here for the last few days and i haven't had any issues. I'll have to report back when it starts snowing.

 

so why do you still need to spray it down with wheel paint after the plastidip is applied??

thanks

 

for the color? plastidip is only black or a shade of light silver.

 

and does it hold up in the winter and running pressure washes on them once a week??

 

I don't pressure wash my wheels, so I wouldn't know. They've held up fine with hand washes. Again, no snow yet, so i'll report back when it does.

 

How many cans of Platic Dip did it take and do u recommend clear coating it.

 

if your wheels don't have ANY rash, you should be fine with two cans of plasti dip. I got Two wheels out of 1 can. They had 3 coats.

I needed a third can because i had to put 4 coats on to one of the wheels. Three is the maximum. But again, I used 2 coats of wheel paint. If you're just going to paint the wheels with plasti dip ONLY. I'd recommend 4 coats of plasti dip, and 2 or 3 coats of clear coat for protection.

 

i did mine and my car looks 10x's better

 

Got mine done thanks to your DYI!!! lol Let me know what you guys think! And also, should I change the color of my lugs? I'd actually buy these though, not paint em... haha

 

Those look great bro! I'm glad I could help. It looks really awesome!!!! I like the silver lugs, or you could try a blue similar to your car? I've always wanted blue lugs :P

 

How have these plast-dip base and duplicolor top-coat wheels held up? Any issues?

 

no issues whatsoever. the wheels have held up perfectly in the salt / snow / being washed regularly. I'm really happy with them. They still look like they did when i finished.

Again, i don't use any chemical washes, or high pressure washes. I'm pretty good to my wheels.

 

It's rained and snowed here and they've held up fine. Obviously try not to curve your wheels or scratch em too hard, but normal washed and what not keep them normal, no scratches or fading or anything

 

Just so you guys know, there is a website out there with great tutorials; It also has a great product section that sells more than just black plasti dip. It is all the same brand plasti dip stuff they sell at home depot. They make gold and silver metalizers that can be mixed and matched to whatever look, and becasue its still plasti dip it will peel off easier than painting over the dip. Just google "dip your car." The site is dedicated purely for automotive plasti dipping, so they have everything. One huge positive is that the prices match those at home depot or whatever hardware store.

I know you like the look of the paint because it looks fantastic but if you want an easier route to removal, with the same great look, check that site out. I don't think many people have heard of it

cheers
