Red Protege5 with black plasti-dip wheels - Pictures

[flowfish]

Thought you guys/gals might like to see a red Protege5 with black plasti-dip on stock wheels. I like the way it came out, not sure how long it will last though.

Plasti-Dip the rear bumper...i did just that a few weekends ago. Make sure to mask very carefully, and use lots and lots of very light coats. It was still warm outside when i did mine, so it was drying pretty quickly. I put a very light coat on 10-15 minutes until i got complete coverage. It looks great and is holding up well.

And your wheels look great too!

looks good, I was planning on doing the exact same to mine over the winter!

I think the coolest thing about the plastidip wheels is that you can just peel it off like a decal when you're tired of it and it doesnt hurt the original finish!

I would love to do this, but not it black. i wish Plastidip had more spray color options, i'd love to do my factory rims in bronze.

you mean like white, red, blue, and yellow? You sir are in luck if so

could always mix and get a differetn color

I plasti-dip my wheels before, seems to hold up WAY better then rattle can paint. plus you can peel it off once you get tired of the look.

Since Plasti-dip coats the wheels, wouldn't it be possible to paint with a bronze spray paint after Plasti-dipping in black or white? Seems like it would peel off just the same with Plasti-dip underneath.

Ha it's funny you posted this. I'm getting ready to do my stockers (same wheels you did) in this stuff. Looks great!

That's an interesting idea . . .. . . . hmmm. . . ..

I found this thread on another forum, painted bronzed after the PD.

I would try it on a spare or something first to make sure the regular paint doesn't pass through the plasti-dip somehow.

Here's another pic up close with more light on the wheel:

Yes, you can paint over the plasti-dip any color you would like. Not sure how well it would hold up, but it should peel right off like it was just the plasti-dip.

If you paint over the PD can you still get it off? It seems like it would make a hard shell around it and then make it hard to get off.

Yeah, Jackie, two kinds of material. There are videos on YouTube of the plasticdip being peeled off. It peels off like a sticky rubbery decal. A spray paint drys harder. Maybe if you used a 'plastic-friendly' flexible spray paint on top of the coat of plastidip you might be able to remove it easier.

Hmm interesting. lol Im kinda getting tired of the white wheels, also they look very unsightly when they are dirty. lol

Maybe ill plasti-dip.

 

[RicoP5]

i just went back to stockers until i get a new set up. might do this again. did it on my cobalt ss and rear valance umm i guess they wont look bad from how the look now lol

 

[Fresco]

I wonder how much weight I would add if I plasti dip the whole car lol

 

[Tusch]

Dipyourcar.com not much weight at all and if you do it right, it looks badass
