Did you ever do this? How'd it go? I'm really curious if any permanent damage was done.

No. Shit keeps getting in the way :lol: i promise you there wont be any damage.

I would like to see that too....i just dipped my black OZs white....there getting put on the car today.

Alright guys. Lets see what sort of eye gouges we have here:

They were nasty. They were dirty. They were salty. So time to clean them up then peel off the dip which will be a huge bitch cause i used thin coats

So even after a year they still held up like day one:

Now im gonna let them dry and begin the pain in the ass process. When i do pink, wont be today, ill know to use a can per rim!!!

 

[Alin]

Wow an hour for ONE rim

My rims werent in the greatest condition prior to plastidip.

This guy is my best friend when it comes to removing plastidip! :tup:

The little spots where some plastidip remains are spots from corosion or rock chips or ect. But they look exactly the same as before! :tup: if not better.... :lol:

Painted 2 of the wheels and one did not turn out. So I have peeled it and will be redoing them when I am home from vacation. Hope to have them done next week.

I cant wait to see more work scoob, ive been so hesitant on changing the color of my rims, i have the pearl white sti and im not a fan of the black rims, but im too scared to do other colors but now that your showing them all up its giving me ideas and actually making me want to go out and try this.

 

[NESTI]

So i just bought some of this and im trying it out, just put on my first coat....seems like it bubbled up a lot so when it dries more im going to peel and retry, a lot of spots look real great though just need to get even application

They make a big bore nozzle that works better than the one that comes with the can. More material sprays out making life much easier.

well i peeled it off and reapplied, looks much better...sucks the day is more than half over and i don't even have one wheel finished, i only have 1 jack so i am very limited lol. not sure if i like the black on my white car yet but we will see, any of you have opinions on what color looks really well with white? if you haven't already noticed you will learn i am the most indecisive person ever!

Red wheels on white STi's looks sexy IMO of course. Only color that I have liked... But, what do I know?! I have a WRB! :tard:

Those are a little more red than these:

And the Red Rallyarmour mudflaps top it off! :lol:

Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the red/red on white combo

 

[NESTI]

that red looks awesome, lol funny thing is i ordered the red mudflaps the other day.... are those plastidip?

 

[Alin]

Red, blue and white and if course black look killer on white

 

[NESTI]
