shaz2010 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 So I bought myself a couple of tins of this plastidip online and give it ago on my stock 17" wheels. Here's a few pictures first time I have used it, Its quite nice to use. Thought after the first coat I had knacked it up but if you spray a little to much on one spot it drys even. Only got 2 done and will do the other 2 tomorrow. Washed the wheel with water first. "][/url] Then used some of this. Cleaned up well. "][/url] Covered the tyre. "][/url] First coat then left to dry for 10 mins. "][/url] Second coat. "][/url] Third coat and left this for 30 mins then put it back on the car. "][/url] "][/url] Back on the car, not the best of photo (iPhone) and its dark out but looks a lot better in person. "][/url] "][/url] Good thing about this stuff is it can be removed.

welshboy Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 They've come out really well. I did mine in anthracite the other day. Such a good alternative for refurbing wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshboy Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Any pics!? Interested to see the anthracite colour. Here you go: It's quite hard to get a decent photo of the colour. Well it is when it's not very bright and it's parked right next to a building haha but you get the idea. Will try and get a better one when it's nice and sunny and it's been cleaned. Ignore the stuff on the tyre, that's just overspray where I've been too lazy to remove it. I bought mine from https://www.liquidcarwraps.co.uk/shop they've got some great colours!

How many aerosols did you buy to do the 4 wheels? Or is one enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshboy Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I bought two but need to buy another one as I wasn't able to do as many coats on the other side, so the colour is slightly different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaz2010 Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 And it would also get a extra coat done but been looking at videos and you would put 4 coats on if your off road a lot or gravel roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaz2010 Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) Just a little pic of the supra with the plastdiped alloys after I clay bar and polished the car. First time I have used a clay and it has made the paint work feel like glass and the polish has her shining like a mirror.
