Anybody have experience with using Plasti Dip on rims? My chrome has got to go. Well, I may keep the lip. Or go monochrome. Can't decide black, anthracite, gold, or bronze. Lots of great pics in the black Celi topic for ideas.
Anyway, I have been watching a lot of videos on YouTube and it looks pretty straightforward. However, the guy doing it is a pro. -------------------- '99 Triple Black GT Convertible

QUOTE (Box @ Apr 7, 2015 - 3:38 PM)  That stuff scratches and peels like crazy when you clean a wheel. Plus touch ups if you curb a rim are hell. Looks great though lol  if you're going to paint it, use the index cards and get a touch up spray gun with paint and hardener or a 2K can of paint and clear. The 2k will chip if you curb it so get rim guards , they're little slippery rubber things that stick on the edge of your wheel and saves it a majority of the time
