Plastidip Your 17" Stock Wheels

[$ub$onic]

How many cans avg does it take to dip the rims

 

[ThatTmoGuy]

Took me 2 cans to get 4 coats on each wheel.

 

[$ub$onic]

So 3 cans is more then enough for the car?

 

[ThatTmoGuy]

Yeah, you should be able to do pretty much all of the trim and the wheels with about 3 cans.

[ThatTmoGuy]

[ThatTmoGuy]

Are you planning on doing any of the trim and badges or just the wheels?

 

[$ub$onic]

Just wheels . I already did my back by the then exhaust and roof

Heh, yeah it's a crappy day to do anything. I live about an hour east from Eau Clair in DuBois, PA. I actually have to redo my wheels again because it seems that when it gets really cold out, plastidip doesn't like to hold on well. 2 of my wheels started to peel, but they held on for about 10 months so I kind of expected it.

Btw, you could slap the spare on one wheel and jack up another, then take 2 wheels at a time into your basement or something. I used a shop jack and jack stands to lift the whole car up. took the wheels off and did them all at one time. Are you doing them like I originally did (centers) or the entire wheel?

 

[ThatTmoGuy]

You should start all your post's with don't know if...

 

[$ub$onic]

Well its not raining

And I'm spraying.....
