I highly doubt it peels off factory paint. Maybe if they have been sprayed after the fact it may take that paint off due to lack of prep

this is why you dont plastidip.

LOL plastidip is the devil.

Friends dont let friends plastidip.

STAY Away from the plastidip

Umm not possible. I have had plastidip on many things and removed it after a year of being on, no issues. It doesn't adhere strong enough to pull paint off.

OP how did you remove the plastidip? Did it peel on its own? Your statement is rather an ambigous one.

i can see it happening to wheels with a clear coat already starting to peel but, a factory oem seems a bit hard to believe. something had to be wrong with it already.

OP will surely deliver...

Plastidip FTW! Somehow your wheel finish was compromised, it wasn't the Dip's fault. what did you clean/prep the wheels with?

type-s wheel remover/destroyer.

the left is my passenger side rear wheel, right is my driver side rear. i cleaned my car with soap the day before i plastidipped and just cleaned them with a wet papertowel the day of. notice the color difference next to the center cap. and dont mind the extra plastidp around the lugs lmao. im probably going to end up dipping my other 2, to strip the paint and have all 4 just bare silver. if it dont work guess im going to powdercoat black ...

^ u cant see the total color diference !?!

SharksBreath

iTrader: (33)

did you dip all 4 wheels and all 4 wheels turned out that bright silver finish? or did you only do 1 wheel and then take it off? you never explained anything so one has to assume on their own what you did.

zachlone

neither one of of the pics do the center caps match up with the wheel color perfect, u sure they havent been painted before?

Nick216

okay, i will clariffy. i plastidpped both my rims on my drivers side to see how it looked before doing all 4. i never had time to finish so i had just those 2 plastidipped for maybe 2 weeks? until i hit a pothole and had to get new tires. the tire place ripped my plastidip so i removed it, and disovered my rims are now silver. while th eother 2 on the passenger side, wich i never dipped are still the normal color.

If you're convinced that the finish is removed, spray the wheel with aircraft stripper and see if it makes a difference. That'll take it to bare metal.

Nick216

not 100 percent certain its original, but maybe because its not perfectly clean, but idk

Nick216

paint stripper is like my last option before i get them repainted. im perfectly fine with silver rims, if i can get all 4 silver im fine with that. like if the silver was a previous paint on the rims and i strip it, than im screwed even more.

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

maybe tire shop got scared of "ripping" the plastidip and aircraft stripped your paint?

Nick216

ehh i mean the plastidip only had like tiny rips in it along the lugs and edge. i told them it was going to rip and i was fine. if they did aircraft strip it, it would have to have gone through the plastidip, on the entire rim. and the dip was in good condition, besides the tears, that were minimal.

SharksBreath

i'm lost.

Just dip it again, they just came out with new metallic ones so you could mimic the stock color.

SharksBreath

IMO you're untouched wheel looks dark, even for a type-s wheel.

the one that was dipped and removed looks a bit closer to a type-s wheel shade but then again my eyes could be playing tricks on me. i'm just trying to make sense of this.

Nick216

helllll no, i am never plastidipping again
