UPDATE: CLICK HERE TO SEE THE FINISHED PRODUCT!
Following my PlastiDip adventure,
I decided to PlastiDip my Rims too...
The reason behind this was the previous owner curbed the alloys and I've never been overly bothered by them until now. I also replaced all 4 tyres today so PlastiDip is the perfect thing to do now. The thought process was to plastidip the rims in the hopes that the curbing and start of surface rust would be less noticeable...
Unfortunately, this wasn't the case BUT the matte black rims look great I've only taken off the front 2 wheels and the A2 is currently jacked up in my garage.
The 2 rims had their 7 coats with all angles covered and are currently on their drying cycle... Tomorrow I will be able to see them properly and I'll get the wheels back on and do the 2 rears.
Here's some pics in the meantime:
Cleaned
Layer 1
Layer 2
Layer 3
Layer 4
Layer 6 (I forgot to take a pic of Layer 5)
Layer 7 (And now they're left to dry in my garage )
Will do the rears tomorrow and upload some pics of these babys in the daylight
