Hey I have a question that has to do with painting the rims.

So I plasti dipped my stock 18s black about almost a year ago cause I'm tryna "ball on a budget". My tires were going bald, and when I went to replace them, the tire mount scraped some of the plasti dip off. So I decided to tear off all the plasti dip off the rims, but there and still plasti dip on the INSIDE part of the wheel where it's flat, behind the spokes. I'm thinking of painting them again and my question is that would you guys suggest to try and tear off the inside too? or just over lap it with the 5-7 new coats that is going to be sprayed on?

Overlapping will be a bitch if u decide to peel it off. I did that to my grill. It got a chip and instead of peeling it all of and re-doing it I added more coats to the ones already on. When I wanted to peel it off to paint it for real, it was a huge mess, and it did not peel off well, as you basically had 2 layers stuck together that you had to peel and it didn't work out. Had to wd-40 the **** out of it and 2 hours later of scraping it was finally all gone.

Complete transformation on theses rims I have a little bit of curb rash myself and plan to spray my rims. What grit sand paper did you use to flatten out the curb rash that you had?

That third coat of plasti dip would have looked MEAN if you kept it like that.

Still looks great with the bronze, in the next couple of paychecks i'm considering plasti dipping my whole car matte white.
