I just checked around a bit and your right, I guess it is something to look into. I actually found a guy that did it to all of his ZO6's body panels, wheels, and put a film on his head/taillights and windows. He claims that with his license plates off, he has an extra 5 seconds to react when being clocked on police laser. Now that's stealth...if you believe the guy lol.

 

They look much better than i had expected, if they hold off against road debris for a few months then this is a great cheap project!

 

not bad!

 

What kind of prep work was involved with this? I'm sure washing is a much, but did you have to sand it down or anything? I'm thinking of doing it on my beater G37 19s since I got 8 free cans of Plast-dip. lol

 

I mean hell, if it doesn't hold up for too long, just peel it off and apply new coats, it will look as good as the very first time you did it.

 

Not really that fond of it. People are just taking plasti dip to a different level everyday

 

They look pretty good! You really should have gotten some brake caliper paint and painted your hub and your brakes. It really cleans up the look. I did mine and they have held up great!

 

It doesn't chip, it's rubbery. It will get dirty and discolor though. I sprayed my buddy's stockers like 4 months ago and there is virtually no change.

Regular washing works ok. But the best way to keep them looking good is to treat them the same way you would treat your tires. Just spray them down, wipe them off, and hit them with spray on tire shine. Not kidding.

 

Feel ya on that.

 

so far so good! i even tested em out by driving really really fast and so far only dirt has gotten on em

no sanding involved with plastidip, all i did was remove the wheels rinse with water, dry, clean with alcohol and a towel then put the index cards between the tire and wheel gap and spray away!

yeah ive been wanting to do em red but 1 project at a time!


the only reason i want tint before drop is tint is half the price!

 

yeah not everyone is a fan of the stuff! to each their own!

 

my thoughts exactly! it couldnt hurt at all, cost me only 24 bucks

 

I have actually had my wheels plasti dipped for about 6 months and no rock chips or damage. Still look the same way as the day i did them

 

looks awesome! i'll be doing that tonight!

also, if I spray clearcoat on top of the plastidip, will it be shiny glossy + look good? or should i just use tire shine?

 

So if I apply lighter and fewer coats would a smoked color be obtainable instead of full black?
