Plasti Dip Wheels
 
I am planning to Ptasti Dip my 168 wheels wit their new Pearlizer to get that anthricate/gunmetal look. I was just wondering how many cans of the satin black and pearlizer I would need to get all four wheels done.

i used 2 cans, the second one is still half full... just plain black dip - not the fancy way you are planning... :)

Thank you for the response. I feel that the Pearlizer on satin black on the wheels will set off my Imola Red nicely.

Sounds good cant wait to see!

how do you guys get the edge to stay down?

I used index cards to block the tire. Some spots on the edge of the rim, i think more so where there is rash, it is starting to lift. Once it starts it wants to take the whole thing with it.

130mph runs don't help.

I touch it up and it sits back down but havent found a permanent solution...

How about the Glosser? Has anyone tried that? I already have matte black rims, but want a gloss added to it. IDK about the glosser yet.

I will not be doing for the wheels til it gets a little warmer outside. I can't wait to see how the color will contrast with my Imola Red beast.

Chris,
I am not a big fan of the Glossifer. You have a good start with the black base coat already. I think that the Pealizer will make your white X looks really nice.
