anyone in NY knows where i can get my wheel dip/painted ?

Take 3 hours of your time and plasti dip/ Spray them yourself for $12 worth of paint instead of paying someone else to do it for even more. If your looking to powder coat now that's a different story.

I agree. I am in the same boat. Thinking about either powdercoating or plasti dip. Can't decide which one to do.

I would plasti dip it. It won't affect the resale value and if you don't like it you can always tear it off.

ok thanks guys
i think i might just DIY plasti dip,
does anyone know how much it takes to do all 4 wheels

I think 3 cans is more than enough. 2 cans might even do.

I heard that if you do powdercoat and chip your wheels, then you can't touch up..
So maybe plasti dip?

Takes 2 hours or even less if you could take all your wheels together and paint them

If you want a cheap way to do it, then plastidip them, there are a lot of DIY videos.

Plasti dip is the way to go, because you can always just peal it off, I did all my emblems and grill and still looks great just like a matte black and If i ever want the chrome look again just have to peal off its awesome stuff just take your time and do a wheel at a time with at least 3 coats per wheel, you will not be dissapointed

If you want a cheap non-perminate choice then plasti dip is the way to go. If you want a perminate cheap method then spray paint them. But if you want an amazing perfected perminate painted wheel then get them powder coated. I did all 3 over the course of having my car and man it was so worth the $300 of getting them powder coated.

.They look good now but trust me they wont stay this nice for long. If you dont have "low dust" brake padds they will get insanely dirty and they are very hard to clean espically since they are BLACK. Also depending on where you live and how many coats you put on they will eventually start to fade and peel and crack.

Freshly plasti dipped.



PLasti dipped: After 3 months of not having "low dust brake pads" and not cleaned.



Here they are spray painted and this is more of a permainate solution, where as they will not peel and crack. How ever me living in FL where it is very very hot and humid they started to fade after 4 months.This was taken after 4 months.




Now here they are powder coated. I didnt have the center cap put in at the time because I was waiting for the center cap to dry, I had to spray it myself because its plasic and can not be powder coated. My stock rims were in pretty bad shape because the previous owner had curbed it a few times, but luckly for powder coating when they sand blast the rim to get rid of the imperfections and made them look brand new! Powder coating even makes the inside of the rim perfect which is amazing. Also, these are amazingly easy to clean you just take a micro fiber to them and the dirty and grime litterly just comes right off its awesome!

Haha thanks man its worth the $300, especially since before they were in rough shape with small nicks and chips.

That looks awesome.

Wish I can find somewhere local that will do it for $300.
