Dip Your Car website
Some guys at work have done this on their truck wheels. Looks awesome. This site also shows equipment, etc.... I have seen this forum talk about the vinyl wraps, but not much about dipping, maybe I just missed it. Seems cool. I am going to look into dipping my 85 VW Cabriolet. Looks like crap now, what can it hurt. Word is Rustoleum has a product too. I believe it is at hardware stores, like Home Depot. |

I was also considering doing my race car graphics and numbers with plasti-dip.
I got bashed when I mentioned it on the BRZ forum for wheels. I thought that if you couldnt decide what colors you wanted on the wheels, plistidip them for $40 before blowing $500 on powder coat. If you like it peel it off and have it PCed. If you dont like it, peel it off and try another color. |

Surprised that was the reaction of the BRZ folks, my daily's a 2002 WRX and the guys on the Subaru forum I occasionally frequent - which is hands down the worst car forum for trolling I've ever been on - love this stuff. I did my wheels matte black with the rattle can 15 months ago and it's held up amazingly. To anyone that's used the sprayer, I plan to do my Fuchs full black this month, is it worth getting the sprayer or would you think for a job that size it won't make much difference? |

I wouldn't buy the sprayer for just a set of wheels, cans would be better. I could see the spray gun getting in the way when trying to get to all the small corners of certain wheels. |
