Now dats a winter set-up. Stealth mode in the white snow. Do they sell white tires anywhere? I wonder if it's possible to plastidip just the side of the tires. Wonder how that would look. Hmmmm.

^On their website, I only see 1 blue. Maybe the lighter one is being phased out.

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.

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

^^^ yeah but about $100 in PlastiDip and another $100 for Krylon (4x $15+tax) plus hours of stanfby and prep time...
you can get Metal coaters to powder coat em for 250

Is Quys about $400 for basic colours to powdercoat?

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.

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.

[Rob23]

i did my hub caps lol, they actually turned out pretty good tho, sorry my cars dirty.

[towelsnap]

anymore pics? Thinking of doing this to hubs for my winters lol did you use plastidip or paint?

[Nextmod]

no, white they can order anywhere. No where else sells blue or yellow because they are discontinued.

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
