Plastidipped my wheels

Well after searching for weeks for the wheels I want and continuously running into dead ends due to back orders I decided to take matters into my own hands. I didn't have much going on this past weekend so I put the Raptor up on blocks and got to work taping things up.



I ended up using half a can of Plastidip per wheel, I am not sure if it will be enough but only time and torture will tell. I plan to come back and asses the durability of the finish after the Texas Raptor Run in a month which should put them through their paces.



Here is the final outcome, I think it improved the look of the stock wheels and the overall look of the truck quite well and it should keep me happy until I get new wheels and tires in the coming months. What do you guys think?

i think its an improvement!

Well they look good on the truck. Just one question. Why the HELL didn't you paint the damn rust on your rotors while you had the wheels off? HAHahaaaaaa. I have that same rust ring and I am to damn lazy to pull the wheels and paint it. It took me 2 years to get around to it on the Vett.

Plasti-dip is really cool stuff.

The black rims look good man!

I like it, but I've noticed that on the 2012 wheels it's not just regular black color. It seems like it's tuxedo black. I wish plastidip could color match

Looks awesome on that blue!!
I just can't get enough of blue flame.
I should paint my Ranger blue flame....

I was thinking about that stuff this weekend!
Like you I can't find a wheel I like better than the stockers.
Where did you wind up getting the Plast-dip?

How did you prep the wheels and apply the Plast-dip?

Wow those look much better.

From videos I've seen on YouTube just make sure they're clean and free if dust and debris. And spray on in light strokes. 3-5 layers.

But that's just videos I've seen on YouTube.
