Just a picture plasti dipped the wheels today very easy and for 50pound of plasti dip worth the try.
I wanted my wheels black and preffer it to the chrome. I also like the matt look thought I wanted shiny but I like it in the matt now.

I bought the cans of ebay I bought 5 but got 1 left for any touch ups. I done it outside with the wheels on because was too much hassle for me taking all the wheels off as only had a jack. I Put plustic carriers behind to cover discs ect just kept spraying them every 15 minutes . I done the card trick to when you stick playing cards around the rim off the tyre so the spray does not go everywhere. Comes out nice I could off done it better but looks good enough to look good.
Well worth ago will have to see long term hold upsmile

Wait till the brake Dust attacks them, did you prep the Alloy before you sprayed them or just spray over.

A few people have done this and it holds up well from what I gather which is surprising.

I want to see pasty (pasti) dipped wheels!

6 months normally, if the wheels were prep'ed properly (these weren't)

I looked into plasti-dipping mine, but after doing extensive research, went for £200 worth of powder coating instead, much better value for money.
