    Hey Everyone, I just bought an 07 Tacoma TRD Sport Double cab with 17" Alloy rims. I love the look of painted rims and was wondering the difference between plasti-dip and regular painting? Which lasts longer/more durable? Anyone tried them both? Any help would be great.
    Cheers

    Plasti dip is a rubberized paint. It is very durable but the good thing about it is it can be peeled off if you dont like it and you dont have to tape anything off. If the plasti dip gets damaged it can be easily fixed. Some people even paint them with the the wheels and tires still on the truck. Regular paint looks better but is permanent and will last longer. But it takes alot of prep and work to paint them

    Yes.
    Plasti-dip shouldn't be considered a permanent option. However, if you aren't sure you want your wheels to be black (or something else)... Plasti-dip first and if you like it, then consider Powdercoat or something.

    I have been wondering the same thing. The plasti-dip looks pretty sweet and is a cheap alternative. Post pics if you do it.

    A little tip with the Plasti-Dip... When you mask around your badges, and spray away... don't concentrate just on the badges. Cover the whole area that is not masked off. If you don't, and you get a light coat around the edges of the un-masked area, it's a pain in the ass to peel off. At least it was for me.

    Because if u don't like it, remove it. Plus you don't have to remove what your painting (just remove the dip).

    Jake, I did my badges this weekend and they turned out great. You spray painted yours, but aren't they chipping? Maybe you should do yours in Plasti Dip to make them look fresh again.
