Plasti-dip Rial Salernos?

Dr. G · 12-17-2010, 02:35 AM

I've been thinking about doing something a bit different to my 17" Rial Salerno wheels.

I have a Black Sapphire e92 and my buddy who happens to park right beside me also has 17" Rial Salerno's for winter haha. So I thought I would try and change things up with some plasti-dip.

Any opinions on how they will look on a BSM e92 with plasti-dip? I don't have photoshop with me right now so I'm not able to really get a good idea of how they will look, any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!

here you go. a forum member plasti-dipped his wheels.

thread here: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=422000

From what i know, up-keeping these wheels are fairly simple. don't power wash the wheels though (no gas station coin wash), just hand wash it yourself. The finish of the paint would be rubbery, matte and it would be easy for dirt to get trapped in the paint, so regular washing are required to remove brake dust.

After the paint has cured, the plasti dip itself is very stubborn, it will only come off if you rub hard on the finish.

There are cases where people regularly take their plasti dip wheels and power wash them, some are fine, while others report a result in peeling of the paint.

plasti-dip itself is durable because its thick and it can withstand rockchips without damaging the paint itself.

Yeah that thread is where I got the idea haha.

Just wondering what people think on how it will look on BSM and Rial wheels.

The problem is its for my winter wheels so I will probably be going through touchless washes here and there, hopefully it doesn't strip the plasti-dip.

Wouldn't hurt to try it but good luck finding enough plasti-dip most of th stores only have 1 or 2 bottles.
