I love Plasti Dip! I've done a few sets of wheels before. Usually I'll do it to help me decide what color to have them powder coated.

I definitely learned some tricks. You can see some texture to the wheel that you cannot on the intake. Lesson learned. All in all it looks good. But now I’m an expert.




I applied metalizer on the wheels but not on the intakes

Hmmmm not a fan of the textured look. I was thinking of doing plastidip instead of getting new wheels. But I probably will just get new wheels then. Probably better to not powdercoat the factory wheels.

This can be done without the textured look. If each coat is WET and UNIFORM, no texture. One of the important lesson I learned.

also...I've powdercoated two different sets of Porsche factory wheels, and they came out great. Why are you concerned about that?
