My adventures with Plasti Dip

[BrashDaniels]

I used vinyl like these:
Headlight Taillight Film Glossy Finish Smoked Tint Overlay Sticker | eBay
Grey 12"x48" Smoked Fog Light Headlight Tint Vinyl Film Wrap Sheet 30cmx120cm | eBay
!

So it's a peel off sheet of tint you cut to size and apply in the same way as a decal?

Back to plastidipping the wheels for a sec...

1. How much did you need for 4 wheels?
2. How do you think it will stand up over time?
3. Are you still thinking of a professional paint or coating, or leaving as is?

Looks great!

Do you use a knife to trim the edges off?

No need. I wouldn't be taking a knife to my paint work anyway. You literally grab a corner and peel it back. It breaks where there is a join - like badges. For the fiddly bits I used a toothpick to pry the edge and tweezers to pick it up.

1. $30 a can from Autobarn. 4 cans for jut the outside of the wheels. Probably 6 all up if you wanted to do the inside of the wheels too.
2. Not sure. We will have to wait and see.
3. Yes. I will definately powder coat my wheels in the near future.

Yes - correct - pretty easy

I do feel silly installing HID and adding a headlight tint - but that's the way it goes

Well, with some left over plasti dip and a spare hour or 2 the other night, I thought 'what the hell, and decided to do the wheels as a stop gap move until I get them powder coated. At least, if I damage it ot get sick of it, I can peel it off in a few minutes.

That's looking very smart indeed!
