Plastic dipped my rims this morning and also painted the calipers.

Can you only get a dull finish with the plastic? I am really thinking about doing this...

It leaves a flat black look. Thats what i was going for. It only took 2 cans you can pick them up at home depot for 6 bucks each. I did my dads mach this morning and that only took 1 1/2 cans so depends on the style of your rims and size.

Glad you said that because I was about to buy the stuff from Dipyourcar.com They said the more layers you spray on the more durable it is... but thats good to know.

It's been holding Up nicely on both cars. Haven't had a problem yet. I'm happy with the results.

Nice! Do you drive a lot of highway miles?

 

[SilverSurfer619]

40 miles round trip to work and back. I've hit high speeds and still on there.

Start off with light coats. Thats what I did.. Then as you progress go a little heavier. I did multiple coats.
