Plastidipped Stock Rims
was bored one sunday afternoon so i plastidipped my stock rims matte black. it turned out pretty good. i didnt sand or prime anything just washed rims and sprayed on. if i get bored of it plastidip comes off really easily just peel off like vinyl

thanks but if i paint them gloss then i would have to go thru the whole process of sanding and priming and what not.

this was a easy fast job

Nice job, how long did it take you?

i dont think plastidip is meant to be glossy.

no. it would be awesome if it just popped off. DO NOT try and take it off. it is a bitch and a half and you will break all the clips.
