Default Some Plasti-Dip Action!

While walking The Home Depot getting some chrismast light stuff I happened across a display of Plasti-Dip..... I have to admit I was a bit curious. A few hours later not a single Christmas light was up, but my wheels are black! Now I REALLY have to do the lights tomorrow to get the wife back on my side lol. Anywho, I think this is a super cool product as I wasn't too sure if I wanted to paint my stockies black but I was itching for a different color. I think I'll keep them this way for a while until I am able to source some CE28N Honda editions (If I can EVER find any) or decided on something else. What do you guys think?

I have the same thing. Love it. I used about 2.5-3 cans on mine. Also had to touch them up some when I got new tires. I did all my emblems as well.

I would like to suggest that you either cut and remove any material from the lug seats, or make sure to torque and re-torque the lugs a few times after driving. The plasti-dip compresses, and could cause the lugs to become loose.

Just throwing it out there, if you did it, then cool, otherwise you might want to be on the safe side.

Plasti-dip isn't paint. I have seen some other people do this to wheels and after a few months it looks terrible. Just a heads up.
