Nice video, Tara. I didn't realize the coating was that simple to apply.

What about removing one wheel at a time and laying it on it's back probably easier to cover the entire rim instead of on the vehicle.

Wow, that is a big difference! But yeah, it must be because it's on top of fresh plasti dip.
I would remove my rims but I don't have a low profile jack.

Yeh it looks a fair bit shinier than in your video also that was as mentioned one quick spray but still decided to settle on the matte lol, low profile jacks I got mines of eBay for £120.00 pounds

sure you could get a good cheap one in the states for sweeties.

For those asking for follow up, here is a photo. It's been about 3 weeks and my wheels look really dirty all the time. So I'm in the process of peeling it all off. Lesson learned is that glossifier should go on top of plastidip only! Hahaha

mashimarho · 08-04-2014, 02:25 PM

Looks brand new underneath at least.

LACSTER · 08-04-2014, 02:27 PM

Be careful not to chip a nail. I hate when that happens!!!

need a video of the removal process... thanks for watching! lol

Nice sparkling graphite! Love this color. I need to detail mine soon...

Any plans on picking up some LCI tails?

gds52 · 08-04-2014, 08:57 PM

I think for wheels power coating is the best option. I may be wrong.
Wheels get lots of brake dust n the cleaning is not that soft

Dark_Knight_335 · 08-04-2014, 09:22 PM

Christ, wear a mask Tara next time- breathing that stuff in= no bueno!

That is a great deal! Awesome.

So anyways.... Just got a flat tire. I almost feel like my wheels are punishing me for glossifying them.
SIGH!
