Plastic Dip Opinion/Suggestions Please!
 
So I have Gold Luff M1 wheels, and I want to plasti-dip these wheels to all black.
I am just wondering if it is worth it and if it will last with daily driving. People that have experience, please post suggestions and opinions.

Its these but gold.

plasti dipp will only look good for a lil while. After it will look dull and boring. save your time

I agree with above, it looks good for a while but it will start to look dull and faded over time, especially if it is in the sun all the time. I did my emblems and grill surround about a year ago and its getting to be time to re-do it. I can imagine that wheels are subjected to even more abuse with the brake dust, road dust and water, random dogs, ext.

I'm not usually a fan of plasti-dip but I've seen toHn's car and his rims looks really good in person. It's reversable, so it's a good way to try it out and see if you like it. If not, peel the stuff off. Will cost you a can of plasti-dip. I can't comment on the longevity since I haven't plasti-dipped anything yet but I'll give it a shot if I want to try blacking something out.

For that wheel design, I don't think Plasti-Dip would look good on it. I agree with what the people above said about it becoming dull. The very instant all my wheels were back one after Plasti-Dip, I thought it looked pretty good but after a month or so, it started to turn brown/grey. It looked nasty and washing it didn't help too much. Same goes for my grille, I ended up just painting it chrome black. However, you can try what I did. I simply sprayed gloss black over the Plasti-Dip along with clear. It's been more than half a year now and the color is still perfect.
