Fun experience with painting oem wheels

[Nickleahy23]

plasti dip is great...all you have to do i clean the surface before spraying,....

i painted a sled this winter and it held up great, besides where my knees were on the tank..it peeled off after a 400 mile weekend...

if it is a surface that you arnt touching like wheels and shit, it will be great...do 4-5 coats and you are good..if you screw it up, peel it and re paint it...works great...


if you are masking off an area, you have to peel the tape or whatever you use when it is still wet..or else you will peel all of the work you just did

Yup, in the spray paint section at your local hardware store... ***** been around for a long while.

I sprayed my Audi wheels... hit it with 200 grit and then 800 grit but its not needed I was just being **** about it since it was on my $50K car. Wipe your wheels down with a microfiber before painting to take all the smaller bits off you cant see with the naked eye and just blast. I had a buddy did this on his VW with the wheels still mounted. He cut out cardboard pieces to place in the wheel well (to close the gap so no paint would hit other parts).
