I think there is only one blue. On the video it looked semi transparent and a thin layer over a light coloured rim might give you a lighter blue than the cap colour.
Re: Plasti dipping rims/ rear bumper?!?
After googling a bit, I see that some people are plasti-dipping their rims and then painting over it with krylon fusion.
Makes sense to me, and if it works would be VERY cool

Last I hear, yes. His customer service and work is outstanding! I would pay the $400 to get it done once and get it done right

What is considered a basic colour? Does he have like a binder of colours you can look through to pick one? Or do I have to bring a paint sample?

quy has a booklet as well as other samples. imo, plasti-dip is only for temperary solutions. Don't powder coat unless you want a more permanent result.

In KW, I'm positive you couldn't get your rims powdercoated for $250. I'm doing it to stock rims for some protection from the winter elements.Four cans of PlastiDip and Four cans of Krylon will bring you to about $140 after tax (on the high end).
And it's been said countless times before... the whole point of PlastiDip is that it's reversible.

MetalCoaters does it this cheap. Several people have been to them.
Re: Plasti dipping rims/ rear bumper?!?
I went for a car wash this morning and when I got home I noticed I've got some chips on two of the rims. Not sure if it was prior to the car wash or after. Kinda debating if I should touch them up or just wait till spring.
Re: Plasti dipping rims/ rear bumper?!?

On top of that, the blue that I saw is not the same bright blue that I wanted.
This place sells it but it's in the UK
