Dip Your Car website
Some guys at work have done this on their truck wheels. Looks awesome. This site also shows equipment, etc.... I have seen this forum talk about the vinyl wraps, but not much about dipping, maybe I just missed it. Seems cool. I am going to look into dipping my 85 VW Cabriolet. Looks like crap now, what can it hurt. Word is Rustoleum has a product too. I believe it is at hardware stores, like Home Depot. |

I did the rims on my BMW last year and LOVE it. Easy to remove when you want to. Hard to come off when you don't.
I'm doing my Land Rover in "Anthracite" as soon as the weather turns. I bought 4gal late last year. Spraying it out of a can sucks for a whole car, but with a HVLP gun, it's WAY easy to knock a car out in about 2h. You're driving it in 3h. QUOTE(Mike Bellis @ May 14 2014, 09:26 PM)  I did my wheels with rattle cans from home depot. I used 1 can per wheel. Make sure your over spray is thick so it pulls off. So I get my point across....I'll say this in all caps. PUT 3-4 MORE COATS THAN YOU THINK YOU NEED! If it's too thin PlastiDip is a royal pain to remove. It comes off in 1" pieces. If you put 6-8 coats on, you can damn-near remove a whole car in one sheet. I did the hood on my land-rover in flat-black to cut the glare (which it did) but I did it too thin, so when I went to remove it, I gave up after an hour. Now it looks like shit. |
