Painting Stock rims

Holy $$$ dudes..$500 for 4. I spent $6 on all 4 and they look hawt. use your money to buy an exhaust or fascia or something..plastidip is very reliable.

I think it'll look really good on the metalic slate gray, too. The suggestion for Plastic Dip is not bad. I heard good things about them. I just chose to do powder coat, cuz I want it to last for as long as I own the car. Don't want to have to re-do the plastic dip ever so often.

I dont like how dirty the wheels get. I know that sounds silly cause you can easily wash it off, but it just looks too flat. And when the brake dust gets on it, its got this black/brown look to it. I would powder coat it cause it has that long lasting shine.

im eventually powdercoating but decided to temporarily plastidip. im doing it right now and am in-between coats. does anyone have any tips on how to get the outside lip painted easily? should i just go over the tire then clean it off of the tire. right now im using index cards but am having a hard time getting in the lip

I used tape, it's a pain in the a** to do but gives good results

The finish on these look VERY nice... Best powdercoated stock wheels I've seen yet. Unless its the lighting... Must have added a ton of clear coat? Looks extra glossy. Love it

use platidip. its very cheap and durable. if you mess up you can always take it right off. thats the way to go!!

Ah, thanks man. My powder coat guy def did a good job. I chose a black that was more glossy, and he did put a layer of clear coat on.
