OK here is my experience with the product. Might give people idea's to make cooler winters, stocks, etc. This is my method, there may be others but after doing some research this is the way I decided on.

A quick brief on the product.

Its a synthetic Rubber spray which is designed for many purposes, automotive interior refinishing, engine bay touch up/painting. tool handles(to remake a grip). The dried product can actually be peeled off with some effort(and a knife), so it in a way protects the surfaces below while giving you your new look (like vinyls.). Its abrasion, bump, chemical and temp.(-30F-200F) resistant. Black gives you a flat black finish.



What you need:
Armour All Wheel cleaner(or like product)
Foam scrubber
Non-lint cloth
3-4 Can's of Plasti-Dip, red/white/black/yellow available.
4 wheels




Step 1:
Remove yours wheels, I did it one side at a time as I could not lift my whole car at once. Then spay down with your rim cleaner, give them a good scrub, rinse and dry with the no-lint cloth.



Step 2:
Now its time to apply the first coat. A very easy method to "tape" off the wheel is to use the playing card method. This worked perfectly for me, I had no over spray. Now give the wheel a first coat, the instructions are to give yourself a full, wet looking layer. Be careful as this is very thick paint and try not to "jig" the bottle while spraying as large drops can be thrown.

I held the can as upright as possible while spraying. this gave the best spray.

Here is a wheel with the cards in place.


Before and after first coat.


Step 3:
wait 30mins between coats, or when the paint turns from gloss to a flat finish. Add another coat. I only used 2 coats. 3 or 4 would probably be better I just ran out of paint. The store only had 2 cans so that's all I had to work with. I would recommend at least 3 cans, 4 to be safe.


AND YOUR DONE!.. to easy.


The finish is a podwercoat like appearance, it cleans very easily. Its also blemish free, you cannot tell once dry how you sprayed, even last minute touch ups disappear.
You can use this as a base coat for different colours, like bronze or red or white ect ect. And once your bored with that colour you can peel the paint off and go play with a new colour!



Heres a before and after of my car. excuse the quality. Iphone photos.

You have stocks in the company or something?

Nice write-up.

I know a lot of people have been flaming you for it, but to each their own.

 

I've been reading up on it and it seems to fade or look ugly overtime. Good luck, mate

 

I support your choice..............

 

Its always easy to re-coat them if they do fade, but that's got to be over a year, I have seen that they hold out for a good while. My car is stored in a heated garage year round so there is not very much UV damage.

 

In the event that it fades u can easily touch it up or repaint it with a different color of any high quality spray paint. The the new paint sticks very well to the rubber coating.

 

^^^ Agreed.

 

Looks better stock. And this is not hating on plasti-dipping. I'd have said the same if you used regular paint.

 

yea looks better stock unless you going for the black out look.

 

lol oh plasti dip...each to their own though. I think it would look better gloss black. Just a suggestion..

 

Looks pretty good u should do more coats then 2 tho.. And did u do your trunk as well?? Idk If it's just me but it looks flat black
