[$ub$onic]

It worked like a charm

 

[ThatTmoGuy]

[$ub$onic]

I hope they adhear good. The cans where warm but it was 50 degrees outside

 

[ThatTmoGuy]

how long did you let each coat flash?

 

[$ub$onic]

Until it looked dry

 

[ThatTmoGuy]

well hopefully it was just looked dry and not actually dry, you need each layer to bond with the next. take a pressure washer to them tomorrow if it stays on you're good.

Just plasti dipped my rims and the chevy bowties. Left the center caps alone for now I will dye the bowties in the center of the rims black to match the front at a later date.

It looks great, considering doing it myself. My only question is how do you remove the over spray on the tires?

It actually peels off completely, if you aren't lazy like me, take the wheels of the vehicle, and place "studying index cards" between the rim lip and the tire, that way the overspray will spray onto the cards not the tire.

It falls right off the rubber though.

They make a blaze yellow. Looks like a highlighter. Check out Dipyourcar.com

Its a little too much yellow, maybe the plasti-dip copper will look sexy:banana:

If you want less bright yellow try using black as the background for a darker color then cover over with the metallizer.

When you dipped right over the lug nuts did removing the lugs later on ruin the plastidip? I want to dip my wheels but don't feel like taking the wheels off and am not sure about dipping over the lug nuts.
