PlastiDip

[ddq]

I went to Home Depot the other day and bought a can of PlastiDip. Its a spray on rubber coating and I wanted to try it on my wheels. I put 3 coats on the front wheels of my banshee and Im about to do it to the wheels on my blaster. Im also thinking about trying the plastics. It held up much better on wheels than spray paint, even after pressure washing. Since its flexible, I think it will be fine on the fenders. Ill post an update with pics after I do the plastic. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to paint wheels. As far as I know, its only available in black at home depot.

i bet bed liner might hold up better on the wheels than the plastic dip

It might be more durable but I feel like it wouldn't stick as well.

My buddy used bed liner on his A arms on his banshee mixed in some blue automotive paint looks cool and they can take a beating they still look the same as the day he did them.

be a good idea if your fine with the plasti dip on the surface you want, clear coat it after, if you dont like it, just peel it off. but clear coating afterwards prevents any chips or spots that would be prone to easy peeling

Looks nice on your wheels

To update....



I coated my rear fenders and the fender flares on my truck. I have not had a chance test the fenders yet.

so what do you do? just spray that on there?

 

[sporty982000]

it usually comes in a can and you brush it on. thats what I have done in the past with it.

You just clean the surface real good and put it on in light coats just like spray paint.

You can get plastidip in other colors, but they have to custom order it for ya.

I'm just bumping this because my dad uses it all the time.

Here's a trick: If you want any other color besides black use white plastidip as a base and then spray paint over it with the color you want. It lasts very long. I know this because my dad used to powder coat and it was so messy he got tired of it and started using plastidip. If you get tired of the color you can always peel it off since the plastidip is the first thing you spray on. Here's my dad's bike in plastidip. He sprayed low gloss clear spray paint over it.

I love this stuff, redoing a blaster for my stepson for Christmas and sprayed the plastics matte black:

Did our cart in anthracite metallic:

Wheels trim grill etc on my navigator:

I've done lots of other projects with it as well, also getting ready to spray my bagged neon electric lime green with a green metallizer top coat.
