Plasti dipped my SS wheels

[qwik01cobra]

alright people. I took it to a BRUSH STYLE wash that I always use and the guy sprayed the wheels up close with a really high pressure water/soap mix to prep the car before the wash and it went through 2 sets of high speed brushes and came out PERFECT. didnt have to wipe them down or nothing they were spotless. I'm sold

Have fun when it comes time to peel that shit off. What a nightmare some parts come off in big pieces other little pieces stick and your sitting there picking away at them.

Most folks say that if it doesn't come off in one piece, you didn't apply enough.

exactly.....

I applied 1 coat to my grilles, rear exhaust valance, and brake vent bezels and its held up VERY GOOD.

My rims I put 4 good coats on and I highly doubt I'll have any problems and they should peel off just fine.

So.... how does the clear coat work? Just buy plastidip clear coat? can you wet sand and reapply? do you need to? I am finding plenty of info on the web about matte finishes, but would like to know more about a gloss finish plz

I thought they said you are not supposed to use any other clear coat besides the Plasti dip Gossifier because other brands will eat the plasti dip...

Got any better pics of the rims?

Sprayed the clear on after a wipe down no sanding or anything

Did not hurt the finish on these


We found that if you ran your finger over the finish with no clear it left a smudged after washing it left spots
We waited a week after the wheels were done and sprayed them with a matte flat automotive clear
No problems so far


Ill get better pics up tonight
