They actually advise spraying vertically (you can obviously still remove wheels if you want or do the old bag trick!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I wonder how bronze or copper colour plasti-dip look on Wolfrace Pro Sprints on my car? I seriously need to get in the habit of using photoshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamestopdog Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 Ok well update on plastidipFirstly one of the wheel caps peeled (i did notice it was lifting on a edge when I sprayed it)Then the next day the rear wheel started peeling, again I though it may have done because when moving the car with bags on discs the bags must have moved a bit and lifted the edge.So now have two wheels silver one side and two plastidipped the other side!Also got a new tin of metalizer, started spraying and nozzle got stuck down and kept coming out, even removed nozzle and still came out, so waste of £15 thereThis the wheels after a few coats of silver metalizerSo personally ideal for grill, small items (and fish tank backgrounds!)But I wont be using again on wheels as worked out quite expensive (£80)Think im gonna get them done professionally this colour next...And finally im thinking, caps off?

vtec2011 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 That's a shame... I have always been unsure using plasti-dip on wheels but it looks so cool! I quite like the wheels without the center caps because it breaks up the plainness (if that makes sense) and it's another good excuse to get nice wheel nuts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 That's a bit gutting. I like the wheels without caps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Gutted about the peeling! I prefer them with the center caps! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
