Thanks. I thought that was the stuff but the link you sent me was a nonaresol can do I would I need a spray gun or am I just stupid? I wanna do my rims as well as some parts on my 86 camaro

And I heard that a little clearcoat can make it glossy, however it may also make it harder to peel off.

But, judging from your pictures, it appears that you used the spray version of the product, while the above link leads to the dip version. Or did you use your own spray gun? (Is it even possible with non-spray PlastiDip?)

hopefully it doesnt fuck up the paint... looks kinda cool.

That's what I meant by "spray version of the product". However, the OP posted a link to a non-spray version of the product. Hence the question: did he use a spray can or did he somehow managed to spray an "ordinary" plastidip?

Careful now.....you don't want to be associated with the retarded styled kid on the block.

I am growing to like it more and more, I might make it permant with paint (yes glossy black to much the roof

) been getting a lot of props and have had an M3 owner at Costco asking me how to do it on his aw e93 (minus the ///N54)...lol

i dont hate it. i've normally seen it used on wheels and door trim, but not directly on paint. definitely interested in seeing what i could do with it. endless possibilities!

I actually used this to paint my grill. took about 1 can, 30 minutes and bam... flat black

The only problem i hvae with plastidip (and i've done this for most of my grills..hate chrome grills), but it does tend to attract dust..

Hi Josh

Those are the LC818 19"

19x10 rears, no fender rolling needed even with a drop on coil overs.
19x9 fronts.

I was going for Alufelgen SF71's But this had a bit more concave in the back and ultimately was a steal of a price.

Thanks for the response bud.

I think this is my fav wheel at the moment... Just need to work out what would look best on a black car... Hyper Black, Matt Black or Silver.
