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

i had my whole car dipped i did it my self i work with dip a lot ! u wanna clean the rim really good then put tire shine on the wheel its self cause dip doesn't stick well to oild then use a can on each rim make sure u put the same amount u put on the tire as u did on the rim and it should come off really easy. make sure the san is warm to the touch. (what i do is sit it in front of a heat gun for 2 minutes the shake well, and repeat then its hot) then spray even coats along the whole thing. stay about 6 inch away from what ur spraying and make sure ur at a 90 degree angle from what ur spraying. let me know how it comes out
