Plasti Dip Anthracite Wheels

[8UWITH6]

I did this today to protect my factory wheels from the winter weather. It is the Anthracite color and I must say it turned out pretty well. I did a light 1st coat and let it flash for 15 minutes. Then a heavier 2nd coat about 20 minutes. 3rd coat I put on as heavy as possible and let it sit for 30 - 45 minutes (2 beers) and they looked great. But I did a final 4th coat just to be safe and for ease of removal in the spring because I do love the factory wheels. Just thought I would share. Pretty easy process really, just lots of prep. Now I am looking for more stuff to plasti dip. :)

Gonna do TagAlong's wheels next!

Looks amazing when I get an extra set I am doing this set up ,:) how hard would you say it was to put on the Rim from 1-10??

[8UWITH6]

PREP was time consuming. Spraying the product was the easiest part.

[L.Mark]

Not usually a fan of painted rims, but these look really good...:banana:

a few things I've learned from plasti-dipping.

1. this can gun helps a lot. whether your project is small or large. allows so much better control.

2. if you run into a situation where the plasti-dip was sprayed too lightly/improperly so that is doesn't peel off nicely. PB Blaster is your friend. Spray it on the plastidip, let it work into it for 30-60 seconds then you can use a fingernail or something similar to just scrape it off.

Hmmm... not bad actually looks bad azz!

This was Zacks idea years ago. It looks nearly identical to his.

with my impact gun, jack and stands, this is a 3 at most. Unless I forget to switch the gun to counter clockwise like last time. Then it becomes exceedingly more difficult. :lol:

Yes. They are similar. His is permanent mine is temporary. I was going to do black but last minute decided to try the new anthracite plasti dip.

Looks real good man especially on blue. Well done.

Good choice on the anthracite color.

[Jeffonebuck]

Looks Good !!, Winter is coming on Fast and I think it won't be mild !

[Blackmobile]

I'm curious how would you clean them?

[8UWITH6]

My car never gets dirty enough to worry about that, LOL. But seriously there is a chemical recommended by dipyourcar.com that doesnt harm the finish. I will more than likely just use soap and water and a microfiber.

FWIW it actually looks much darker today outside than it does in the pictures posted. I am very happy with it.

How do you remove it?

[8UWITH6]

Peel a corner up and hope it comes off in 1 piece. Otherwise a little WD40 and your fingernail. Its kind of like peeling sunburned skin ;)

I did my wheels last winter and just used soap and water. It worked fine. I didn't lean into them, just used my normal wheel brush on them and it held up fine. Had the plasti-dip on the wheels for ~ 6 months and never scarred the coating with regular washings.

Wheels look great!

Check your American flag in the garage and make sure it is hung in the correct manner.

When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union (blue field) should be uppermost and to the flag's right, that is, the observer's left.

Thanks!


Observers are from the outside of the garage (as you are looking in at the garage opening) so I think I have it correct for that view? If you look closer it is attached to the garage door so when the door goes up and opens it hangs down with the blue portion to the left. Is this correct for this type of display? Let me know. Thank you.

For reference only. 2.5 cans on 4 wheels (I thought it was too light of a coat) pulled off just fine.
