Anybody use plastidip on their rims? I think I'm going to do my truck soon. Just wanted to see peoples results, pics, how they applied it, lug nuts on, off, etc...

 

It's pretty forgiving to work with. Just make light even coats across it. You're going to want to remove the lug nuts, and preferably even the tires if you want it to look right.

 

you may want to ask this fellow

I plasti-dipped my rims on sunday. The plastic side air intake is next.

but not on rims.
I re-did all the lettering on my 06 hse because they were all faded / terrible looking. The plasti-dip stuff is incredible. After doing the letters (they turned out great) I was looking for other things to dip...so I did the side air vent. it turned out great too except that now, as it's flat black, it shows off that the plastic cladding around the wheel wells and bumpers actually has a blue-ish tint to it. no biggie.
I've seen plasti-dipped wheels with varrying results. you've got to get them really clean / scuff-free for a great outcome.

btw, for those looking for a great product to bring the plastic cladding back to life and protect it, look for 22PLE VR1. It's expensive, but it's easy to apply, a little goes a long way, and it worked WONDERS on my faded trim without leaving any nasty residue.

 

I plasti dipped my wheels over a week ago and it came out awesome. So far its held up great, Its been snowing in the Northeast and the rims are dirty now, after a wash down I'll see how they look and post some new pics.

 

Your wheels look great. What color Plasti Dip did you use? Did you take the wheels off to do it?

 

Looks great man. Should be doing it to my green LR3 soon enough, we'll be close to matching haha. Again looks great
