    I did this while the wheels were off when a shop was installing my lift and I did use a deck of cards with 1 can of dip per wheel.

    Red plastidip. I had about 4 coats of black and was bored so tried about 6 coats of red. They pop out of the centers so pretty easy to do.

    Was going to powder coat so tried this first to see if I liked it. Wish a little bit glossier but probably gonna leave like this. As long as do t peel off.

    Do you have to redo this every time you get new tires?

    Probably. Can’t imagine tire machine not peeling off plastidip. Easy enough to redo though.

    Those wheels look great. Did you use the glossifier after the dip?

    Same here, although was debating the diy wheel painting tread. I like them but will be swapping wheels and tires once these tires are due.

    Did mine with plastic bags behind the wheel and 3x5 cards.

    Not familiar with that. Is that a clear coat?

    How do you feel about wheel spacers on a 30-35k vehicle?

    sort of. Plasti dip offers it as a finish option. It adds a gloss finish over the matte black. I wasn't ssure if your wheels had it, they look awesome, I was just curious.

    I have plasti dipped quite a few things. Emblems, Tow-Hooks, Lift Kit Blocks and Spacers. All have held up great. It's amazing how durable plasti-dip is. Never wheels. The last set of stock steel wheels on my former 2012 I had powder coated.

    I did mine today with some vinyl decals from eBay but I’ve seen MESO selling some the ones I got aren’t the exact fit it’s missing a very very very tiny part. I had to finish with a sharpie lol but from far you can’t tell
