Ive seen people done them before on other forums. Anybody ever tried it?
I have my hubcaps plastidipped, check out my car album and see if you like em.I've also been thinking about this method, I don't got cash to buy new wheels, so I was thinking about Plasti-dipping my hubs, would that look too douchey?
Looks good, I think I might try it!I have my hubcaps plastidipped, check out my car album and see if you like em.
It depends on what temperature the plastidip is. When it is cool to the touch it feels somewhat like rubber although it is somewhat smooth. When it is warm however it feels very smooth and slick as if it was like the vinyl inside a car. You can also buy "Glossifier" plastidip that is used to enhance the look of any dipped pieces by making it look glossy. My hubs don't have that though as I like the flat black look.one question, is it sticky? or does it feel like a matte paint finish?
3 coats, had to do some touch up because I missed spots where newspaper was in the way, but overall good coverage.Looks good. How many coats did you apply?
yah, at home depot, about $5.25/can, didnt even use it upPlastidip for five dollars?
Ahh reminds me of my carDone, 4 wheels for $5, good deal! LOL

Avoid the drive-thru car-wash's as the pressure used in them can make the PD come off although I've found the at-home pressure washers to not be powerful enough to do it unless you hold it in one spot for a while. PD doesn't chip it peels off you could say, although a nice thing about it is if any comes off you can just spray on more PD and when it heats up it will smooth itself out and you can't tell you resprayed a spot.Do they chip easily? And will they come off if scrubbed by the car wash guys? Thanks!
