    As Harry Callahan said, I have one, but you probably don't want to hear it.

    I think Plasti Dip is great stuff--on handles of pliers and other tools...

    Reminds me of cop car wheels for some reason. I'm not a fan of black wheels in general though.

    If you want a nice contrast use Duplicolor's Graphite wheel coating, they have matte and gloss clear coat as well to finish it off--I used this (and their silver coating for contrast) for years on Miatas and Mustangs...

    I like plastidip but I really prefer a more permanent solution for my wheels

    I do like it for emblems and things like that

    nice, I was thinking about trying something like that with the stock TRD off road wheels and keeping the center caps as they are.

    Did you tape/mask the outer ring on your wheels before spraying them?

    Looks great man...I dig the black rims on your truck:thumbsup: The cool thing with Plasti Dip is, you get to see the color change for a few months before spending $$ on paint or powder coat.

    I like it. I never liked all-black wheels, a little contrast goes a long way. Looks good man.

    I love plasti dip. I plasti dip all my chrome on my grill, foglight surrounds, and my offorad rims, I get compliments all the time. It's a cheap way to change the look of the vehicle
