Plastidip wheels?

Anyone tried this on the OR wheels? Any pics?

Just used the search function and came across this https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/trd-off-road-wheels-painted-black.447012/

 

Nice. I usually search first but didn't this time.

They actually look good

 

Just plasti dipped mine about 2 weeks ago

 

Looks good! How many cans? How'd you prep them?

 

And how long did they dry for before you drove?

 

Just cleaned them with soap and water and dried completely before I started. Then did 6 coats total on each wheel with about 15-20 minutes on between each coat. And I didn't drive for the rest of the day after I did this. But I could of drove probably about an hour after and would of been fine

 

And I bought 4 cans but I think I only used 2. I used the others for other stuff like rear bumper and grille

 

Oh and also. Definitely get the actual PlastDip products. Don't get any knock off stuff. I used the knock off brands on my last car and it looked like total garbage

 

I second that. The knock off stuff sucks.

 

Cool. I'm gonna try to get to it this week

 

Post pics whem done

 

Looks decent, but I couldn't get myself to spray $5 dollar cans of that all crap anywhere near a 30-35k vehicle.

 

I sprayed mine this summer. yeah it's cheap, but I have no need for bigger wheels(at this point) so imo it's stupid to just buy wheels for the color. And the great thing about it, I can take it off whenever I want...

 

old plasti dipped rims on my Tacoma be sure to use the gloss over it tho it it will look really matte over time alot of thin coats an let dry 10 - 15 minutes in between.

 

Did you leave the wheels on?

 

Here are my Sport wheels.

 

I plan to dip mine brass monkey once it warms up around here. My truck is cement and I think the two will look good together.

I prefer the vinyl decals myself. They went on faster (no need to remove the wheel to install), and seem to fare better than the derped wheels on my trailer. Multiple vendors on Etsy offer on the OR wheels. A few are on here, I've had good luck with the ones by @SimplyMuggle.



Will last as long as the tires, I've found. The delicate-fingered geniuses that mounted my tires absolutely destroyed the vinyl. Had to order a replacement set. But, they would have destroyed the plastidip just as quickly to be fair. Pulling the old vinyl off to reapply the new was much, much easier.


Edit, dang, what's with the resurrections this month? I really gotta start checking the date stamp.
