ThatTallCanadian Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 So today I just recently blacked out my SS wheels and my exhaust tip with a new (to me) spraypaint called Plasti Dip. This stuff works wonders! It sprays a satin black finish, and its a rubberized coating, so whenever you get tired of the black, you can literally peel the paint right off the rim and not have the OEM finish damaged at all. Heres 2 pics off of my phone/facebook, I will try to get better pics tonight with my new camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller812 Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Thats kind of cool stuff. Did you dismount and then paint the rims our just mask off the tire? I would like to know how this stuff holds up. Makes the truck lookgood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatTallCanadian Posted July 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Thats kind of cool stuff. Did you dismount and then paint the rims our just mask off the tire? I would like to know how this stuff holds up. Makes the truck lookgood honestly, the front tires I pulled off the truck, masked the tire and painted away. As I did this, buddy painted his focus's rims while on the car, nothing masked off, and you couldn't even tell the difference. So the back I just painted while it was on the truck. I'm hoping it lasts a while, I haven't heard anything bad about it. Even if it does get a chip or two, this paint is magic, it will touch up seamlessly. Even if you spray WAY too much and get some hardcore runs, it will dry to a smooth finish with no evidence of a run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller812 Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 it sounds like it comes off pretty easy. I dont know if that's a good thing or not lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eeekroar Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Can I see a close up? How easy does it peel off? Do you have to heat it up to get off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatTallCanadian Posted July 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 (edited) Can I see a close up? How easy does it peel off? Do you have to heat it up to get off? Tried taking pics tonight but the lighting is shit, and flash makes it look god awful. I will take lots and lots of pics tomorrow! in 1080p goodness. And no, I don't think it needs any heat to take off, but I can see it helping possibly? It does come off "easy" but only if you persistently scratch at it or go at it with a sharp object. My buddy sprayed a strip on his headlights to cover up the amber reflector, decided he didn't like it, scratched off a corner and peeled off the whole thing. Keep in mind, it was only on for about half an hour so not nearly the proper cure time my wheels will have. If he's game, we can test scratching em off of his rims tomorrow.

ThatTallCanadian Posted July 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 little update: No need to mask off the tires confirmed. You can just peel the paint off of the tire and it won't affect the rim paint from what it looks like so far. Just give it time to set.

Cramer Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 One chip taken out of the coating and it will tear away. Might start flapping in the wind. I have used the stuff and it never held up to hand tools or "undercoating". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah my buddy hit a curb yesterday and now theres a slight piece missing since he kind of scratched at it, i cruised around for a few hours last night and no problems so far. I'm only using it for wheels , not for an undercoating or anything. Theres only one small chip in the exhaust tips as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
