Been wanting to do this for a while ... finally stop procrastinating and did it today. Super easy ... Plastidip is nothing like paint .. very forgiving .. no runs, drips or overspray.

I jacked the back axle and did two at a time .. which also let me rotate my back wheels to the front ....

I keep hearing stories of this stuff lasting 6-12 months ... we shall see.

 

I love the brembo wheels black..wish I had em

 

That looks awesome, I want to do that to mine. Brilliant idea with the index cards.

 

That looks AWESOME!!!!!!

 

That looks great. How many cans did you use? They sell gloss black ones now on TireRack. $245 per wheel. PlastiDip is a much cheaper alternative. I had Plasti on the grill of my Benz I just traded in for the GT and it lasted over a year. Even with getting hit with bugs and rocks and getting pressure washed. Never once had any issues with it.

 

I used a little less than 3 cans for the 4 wheels. I gave it 3 good coats. Most instructions say to make first coat a lighter dusting coat .. but I did a full coat for 1st coat too.

I bought some clear wheel paint thinking I would clear coat them and make them glossier. But when I saw how good they came out .. I was too chicken to possibly mess them up with the the clear.

Yes ... Ford Racing sells the Brembo Package wheels in Gloss black .. I think the Satin looks better though. and you get can them way cheaper than $245 per wheel .. check eBay.

 

I'm going to keep these and just get some CCW wheels for the track and summer.



These are nice too though.

 

I personally don't care for black wheels, but you did a really nice job with those!

 

Turned out great, I bought some glossifier as well for mine to add a little shine. Still haven't done it yet, work is killing me right now...

 

Def a great idea, I think it looks great. However for darker cars myself (maybe cause I am old) I like brighter wheels and reverse for brighter cars like darker rims.

 

looks very clean bro, good job!

 

That turned out great. Might have to do this to mine.

 

You say your getting those gold wheels?

 

Looks awesome! Very nice with the kona blue

 

Definitely looks great but I also am questioning the mentioning of those gold wheels.

 

Reason to do a light 1st coat is to get better bonding. If you do it too thick, yours might flake easier. Plasti-dip bonds to it-self, in that if it comes in contact with it-self, it will re-liquify and bond better. A light 1st coat allows it to bond to the wheel surface, then subsequent coats will bond to each other better. Patience is key with plasti-dip.

They looks awesome though! Keep us posted on how they last.

I did my wheels in April, and they are holding up just fine since then, minus a few rock dings that I haven't gotten around to fixing (super small, hardly noticeable).

 

Looks perfect! Great job!

 

No the style not the gold. If anything they would be gloss black or dark bronze.

 

Looks great man.

I was just about to say, you can get gloss black track pack wheels from FRPP for a lot cheaper. I think the discount dealer by me has em for $165??

 

those turned out awesome plasti-dip FTW!
