    Plastidip for Alloys?

    Has anyone on her used Plastidip for Alloys?

    I have a set of Alloys that I want to put on a car but the paint isn't great.... €250 to refurb and then close to €300 for tyres is just a bit too much right now.

    Thinking of Plastidiping them but would like to hear from someone with experience first with Irish roads/weather.

    I just want to do a normal Silver, Will it look like a 'normal' painted wheel? (Or do they look like they're covered in rubber if that makes since)

    How does it hold up to road grit/dirt/shite?

    How long will it last without looking shabby?

    Any anyone pics of theirs?

    a rattle can will be cheaper and quicker until you can afford to get the work done. Had dip on some mototsports before. Held up well but as the dip is a different texture it will be noticable to the eye and I also found it damaged the finish on the wheel when it was removed. Great stuff just need to choose the right application

    Cab would give you a good insight! Seeing as he's doing full cars in them!
