nick7 October 17, 2018 Share October 17, 2018 Hi, I plastidipped my rims. I am not a do-it-yourself person but it is really easy. You just have to clean the rims thoroughly before spraying Plasti Dip. Did you check DipYourCar videos? You do not take much risk. It is not very expensive. I was more concerned about using Plasti Dip on the body of my car. I feared it might damage the original paint underneath. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discoburg Supersonic October 28, 2018 Share October 28, 2018 I will rather you spray paint or sticker your ride. It's a bitch when removing the Plastic-dip. planning to plasti dip my car as well but the problem is are the chrome letters thats on my car rear 520d will also be painted and i don't want that and they can't just cover the 520d letters in order to plasti dip it ....

QiQiDude Clutched October 28, 2018 Share October 28, 2018 I will rather you spray paint or sticker your ride. It's a bitch when removing the Plastic-dip. thx for the info is it really like peeling off centimeter per centimeter? it's not like you get hold of a little part and slowly remove a big chunk?

Discoburg Supersonic October 28, 2018 Share October 28, 2018 It really depends on how thick the sprayer sprayed. When I peeled off the plastic-dip on my grill, I literally rubbed the surface with my fingers till they blistered. thx for the info is it really like peeling off centimeter per centimeter? it's not like you get hold of a little part and slowly remove a big chunk?

Benchong05 3rd Gear November 19, 2018 Share November 19, 2018 Anyone done plastidip on your rims so far and does it really last? Thinking of letting some guys in Carousell to do the plastidip for the rims so not sure whether it is worth or should I DIY? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of letting some guys in Carousell to do the plastidip for the rims so not sure whether it is worth or should I DIY? Bro I recommend you to diy if you are able to do it, if you can do properly then why not? Save labour cost as well only need buy the plastidip Another method, if your rims are stock rims that are plain, go change to a glossy sporty rim that look cool Alternatively you can go workshops to do as well Personal preference basically Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discoburg Supersonic November 19, 2018 Share November 19, 2018 I will recommend you not plasti-dip it as removal is a bitch. Rather you spray paint the stock rims instead.
