I'm betting this will look like a** within weeks of road-use... powder-coating FTW!

And those neon-green calipers look... um...

yeah who knows, everyone says plastidip is pretty forgiving to rock chips...? we'll just have to wait and see what happens to this guy or if any one of us wants to test it out and let us know haha also he can just apply another coat in about 5 mins lol I dont think he's too worried.

also that gif basically sums up my thoughts aswell dumb and dumber FTW

People have PD'd their rims for a while now, and yes they hold up just as well as paint and in some cases PC. The beauty of it is you do get a "chip", just touch it up and nobody would be the wiser.

Just a word of caution, don't use PD'd wheels on the track as it's more likely to reach PD's thermal capacity there.

i was really bored today and tried this out just to see how my car would look and it actually looks pretty good..the plasti dip is really easy to use and is great to use for like winter wheels or even to protect your wheels from winter weather

during the second coat

The sad part is, the owner doesn't see the fail in using the "Brembo" logo
