How to Plasti Dip Rims - Step By Step (Walk Through)

[@EhabHalat]

New video on high gloss on rims! kzbin.info/www/bejne/e32mh4CPnLCAhrs

[@MrOptioneer]

I'm doing my Avalon rims today. The clear coat is pedaling so I'd like your thoughts. I plan to use Aircraft paint striker to remove the clear coat completely. Then once they are completely dry, I plan on 3 coats of black followed by 2 coats of Black Sapphire and then 2 coats of Glosifier. I dont plan to put any clear coat back on prior to dipping my wheels. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

[@EhabHalat]

Hey you should use the 2k clear gloss by spraymax it will make it more durable, watch my video on high gloss rims to see results

[@MrOptioneer]

@@EhabHalat so use 2k after I strip the old clear coat off that is peeling bad. Or did you mean to use the clear coat 2K on top of the black sapphire?

[@MrOptioneer]

@@EhabHalat I'm spool sorry use the 2k clear before I use the Plastidip or after Plastidip for protection and shine protection. Again sorry I did not understand. Thanks so much for your help. I really appreciate it. Subscribed.

[@EhabHalat]

MrOptioneer use the 2k gloss for the last coat after you apply the plasti dip and pearl colours. Just do one light coat followed by one medium/heavy coat right after to seal it all in and let it dry for 48 hours

[@steve_nguyen5320]

Thank you so much for this educational video. I have a question if anyone could help me…. I have a Nissan Maxima (SL Sports Edition) that came factory with 19” black rims. The black paint is starting to peel and chip off a little bit. Even though it’s black underneath the paint, it still bothers me and I don’t like how it looks. Do I need to have the paint taken off of my wheels before I can spray them with the plasti-dip since they are starting to peel? Thanks for any help.

[@EhabHalat]

Hey thanks for the comment. If you want those wheels to look perfect then i suggest you take all the black paint off because if you go over it you will still see the chips/peeled paint underneath the plasti dip

I would of paint inside the rims as well. Some people don't but I think thank it enhances the rims.

[@EhabHalat]

With certain rims that are bigger where you can see the inside of the barrel when its on the vehicle is definitely worth doing the whole rim but for smaller rims you dont really see the inside barrels when its on the vehicle. I only do them if the customer wants to pay extra for it.

[@DonaldYearwoodPhotography]

[@benfanelli2996]

Everything in this video was awesome but I am a little unclear with one thing. If i wanted to get the satin look, do I have to use the matt plasti dip first, and then the semi gloss. Just wanna know if i have to work all the way through stages of the plasti dip or can I just start and only use the satin?

[@EhabHalat]

Ben Fanelli hey! The satinizer is a top coat only that goes on top of any colour to achieve the satin finish. You start with your base colour first and then finish it off with the satinizer (2-3 coats of it)

[@carolynperry9704]

Show how you would do your lugs afterwards or before

[@kram03yout]

@Liquid Dipper great video. Hey idk if that’s just me but there isn’t much difference between the satin and matte black? I’ve only plasti dipped using matte black and notice they pick up dirt quicker but I like the look of matte black, will adding the satirizer fix that problem; as is have a similar look but should be easier to clean as it will have a smoothe top layer like a glosifier or in person does the satinizer look a lot different than the matte?

[@EhabHalat]

Zane Lee III hey! Yeah you can see a big difference in person. It gives it a light sheen and a little bit easier to clean with the satin finish rather than the matte finish. Always use a clear for a matte finish for extra protection and smoother finish.

[@MrMark160]

Thanks for the comparison, great side by side

[@sidichendid7237]

how do you take the center wheel cap off afterwards?

[@quiqnezz]

Can you do the gloss over the metalizer and will the metal show through the gloss?

[@EhabHalat]

Yes of course you can apply gloss over metalizer and yes it will make the metalizer flake pop even more with the gloss

[@SladesVWBeetle]

I dipped my sons rims a few years ago, but he didn't leave it on long. My question, I didn't like the way the lug nuts felt when I tightened them up. Like I was tightening against rubber! I question that part. Any ideas or concerns with that, Not getting the proper torque on the lugnuts, especially tightening against a rubber base instead of the rim.

[@EhabHalat]

TheVintage Attic hey! I never had that issue but i have heard of that happening. You just have to be careful and go slow when tightening the lug nuts

How long will plastidip last on offroad aluminium wheels? How much abuse does this stuff take? Thanks for the vid!

[@EhabHalat]

With the proper amount of coats it could last 2-3 years. The more coats the more durable, it could withstand alot. Minimum of 6 coats, 10 coats would be more suitable for off roading rims.

Actually it does. My Silverado was done almost 6 years ago and just now starting to show needing to be redone.

@@Carlos-tx9vt you don't have to renew it if you apply the proper amount of dip the first time. It stays soft and peelable over time, whatever how long it is.

Good DIY.

[@EhabHalat]

Thanks!

[@jdmorgan1787]

If you leave the rims on the car while you spray. And then have to change the tire, this will damage the coat on lug nuts, but will it also peel of the rims too since it was sprayed together? Im just trying to figure out if i should take the time to remove the rims or be lazy n just spray while on the car. Spray one rim, then next n by the time im back to the first rim its should be ready for its next coat.

[@jdmorgan1787]

I don't have jack stands so id have to do one at a time if removing rims

[@EhabHalat]

Hey, sometimes the lug nuts will stick to the rim depending on how the lug nuts sit. To be safe i would remove rims and maybe get black lug nuts because it wont last long if you plasti dip the lug nuts you have now.

[@JoeBoone82]

@@EhabHalat what is the difference with AutoDip. A local place does entire cars, and they said they'd do my wheels in gloss black for about $300. Isn't that a little high or do they do something different than what is shown here? Thanks.

JoeBoone82 Hey! Autodip is also a removable coating which works pretty similar to any removable coating. $300 sounds about right if they are doing a good job and are authorized.

[@JoeBoone82]

@@EhabHalat Thanks for the feedback. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't getting ripped off, or if I should just spend $100 or so in materials and do it myself. I have zero experience with it though. They said $280 for matte black and it was a little over $300 for gloss black. I couldn't find anyone else local to compare with. Only other options I looked into were powder coating, and checking several places, it was anywhere from $750 and up.

Will Plastic Dip cover blemishes caused by rubbing against sidewalk edges? If not, how does one prepare a rim so it looks good after applying Plasti Dip?

On point!! Hey man I've got brand new rims, what's your recommendation on painting them? I prefer regular flat black. Your comment is appreciated 👊🏿

[@EhabHalat]

Hey! If you are looking to do a flat black, just use black plasti dip and clear coat them after with plasti dip clear or if you want a more semi permanent finish use 2k clear coat by spraymax

[@tombates9122]

Yeah, i'd recommend plasti-dip if you just want flat black, especially on new rims. Just make sure you use plenty of coats and that, apart from the first 1 or 2, they are laid on thick. It sounds counter-intuitive but plasti-dip is easiest to remove when it was laid on thick, as it tends to peel off in larger pieces. The cool thing about plast-dip is that it will actually protect the original finish of your new wheels so, if you ever decide to sell them, you can return them to original condition really easy.

[@EhabHalat]

Yes with plasti dip wait 15-20 minutes before the next coat or until you see visually they are dry

[@dementiaseven9579]

I've watched so many videos on this. Some sand paper the rims at first as well ? Really wanna do this to mine. However I wouldn't wanna mess it up either. Couldn't you just take the rim off the tire as well ?

[@EhabHalat]

No need to sand the rim down when using plasti dip. Don’t take the tires off because the plasti dip will get ruined when putting the tires back on with the tire machine. Use tire shine on the side walls and spray the side walls with every coat you do that way it will be easy to peel the dip off the side wall of the tire after or you can just tape the side wall of the tire off
