White Plastidip rims or no?

Earlier this year I had my rims white, but made the mistake of not putting the plastidip clear coat on, because the were a real pain in the a** to keep clean with the brake dust and everything else. Now that she is away for winter I'm thinking about re-doing my rims, opinions? Thanks!

No way, your rims look great now! If you need to find something to change about your G find a recommended wheel repair shop and have your rims polished. Average price is $50 per wheel...Gary

The white looks alright actually. Really diggin it
Dip works if you want an easy visual before you powdercoat-which you should absolutely do.

I'm basically alone on dipping parts here. I say if you like it go for it. I would actually use their pearlizer as a top coat then as you posted dip clear over the top. If you want gloss, buy gloss. If you want a matte finish get matte clear. It makes thinks like a million times easier to clean with white. I've dipped my car a few times. Just do it right.

Personally, I don't care what someone does with their car. Mine is acceptable to me and I would never use the stuff.....but I have considered it.
