Everyone was once a noob.

 

pretty sweet man. looks professional from the pics

 

The question is, "for how long will they look good?" Here in SoCal our wheels take a beating from our elements, I can only imagine the streets in other parts of our country. Yes, we were all noobs once but normally common since prevails without making too many mistakes!

when did plasti dip ever look professional? when has coating your wheels with solidified rubber seamen been professional? i always thought refinishing and powdercoating looked professional.

I guess standards have dropped...........

 

^"looks" doesn't mean professional. its means its pretending to look the part but isnt

 

Plastidip does serve a purpose IMO. A good way to see how a particular color might go w/ the rest of your car without the investment of sanding, painting etc. It's easily removed so if you decide you don't like it no biggie, but if you do like it then move on to making it enhance the car w/ a professional paint job or vinyl wrap. I've done the dip, hated the rubber texture and the fact that microfiber towels stick to it like velcro so it's not easy to clean. It pretty much goes against any texture that the G has so it really is a big contrast. I wouldn't recommend it as anything permanent but for a temporary change to get an idea of the look it's a good product, cheap & simple too

 

Not a fan of plastidip. Need better pictures to determine if rice or good temporary look.

 

I'm not a fan of going bigger than 20's on G's, but this rim and color combo makes me a believer that 22's can look good on G. Although if you can, you should go a bit lower to close in the wheel gap a bit more. But overall looks good man.

 

theres nothing wrong with plastidip. if u do it right, u cant even tell the difference, i have a way to do it where u wouldnt even notice the difference...

plastidip as a primer and paint and clear coat on top of that and no one could tell the differnece

yes powdercoat is much better!! but $300 better?? times are hard for some of us! lol

 

That's an interesting idea, so basically just clean the surface, PDip the metal, spray a few coats of base then a few coats of clear? Do you sand the last base coat, and then sand the clear to get a finish that looks like a powdercoat? And is the overall job still easily removable?

I'd be interested in some pics if you have some.
Thanks!

 

No, everyone was once a Newb, you become more NOOB the more azzhole you turn. I have been known to go full NOOB at times, you never go full NOOB....

 

Are you sure it's not nube

 

I don't think it will look rice but it will absolutely look awful

theres a few more threads out the like this, one guy did a blacvk on bronze combo, looks nice

ive done a couple of my friends cars and u wouldnt be able to tell the difference

 

What process did you use, the link above is really rough, looks like orange peel under a big magnifying glass
Seems like a few coats of Pdip followed by a base coat w/ a light sanding of the last base coat then a few coats of clear w/ the last coat wet sanded and polished.
Is that pretty much the sequence you follow, and any pics of the wheels you Dipped/painted?
