Anybody have experience with using Plasti Dip on rims? My chrome has got to go. Well, I may keep the lip. Or go monochrome. Can't decide black, anthracite, gold, or bronze. Lots of great pics in the black Celi topic for ideas.
Anyway, I have been watching a lot of videos on YouTube and it looks pretty straightforward. However, the guy doing it is a pro. -------------------- '99 Triple Black GT Convertible

Make sure you do it right. I did mine blaze green when I first got my car and it came out looking awful because I didn't know what I was doing. Tape around the tires but not right up to the wheels or it will peel the dip of the edges. Make sure to spray a decent amount on the tires as well so it comes off easier. You could also use note cards between the tires and wheels. Also make sure it is warm enough to spray them and put the cans in warm water before using them. It was too cold when I did it the first time and it came out very splotchy.
