Plasti Dip Wheels and new tires!

[WyomingExplorer]

Well I finally am getting around to post this! Been very busy lately. But I decided to get some new tires 245/75/16's and decided to stick with the stock rims, just plasti-dip them black. I am so glad I did, and am incredibly happy with the turn out. Plasti-dip is one of the easiest things to put on and take off. SO with that said here are some pics!

That turned out real nice I am partial to black rims anyway.
The Plasti-Dip that you used, was that the regular ol' matte black? And did you put any clear coats on?

Looks good

On an Xterra forum I am on, they are all sorts of Plasti-Dip crazy. Front edge of hood, emblems, grills...

I can't get this stuff to stay on the wheels on my 97 sport. They're the fake chrome three spoke steel wheels. Any tips?

Use sandpaper or a wire wheel to scuff them um. then clean them really well with warm soapy water. Let them dry all the way then paint them.

I was thinking of priming them before spraying the plastidip.

I am as well! And I just used the regular. And no I did not, but I am gonna give them a good scrub and then gonna put another coat of plastidip or two, and then clear coat them, cause they are incredibly tough to keep clean.

No I didn't! I used krylon fusion, but did not clear coat, which if you are gonna do, I would put clear coat on. I am planning on plastidipping them though after winter. Not too pleased with the fusion

Thank you! I actually helped a buddy do his xterra and it looks great! Truly a kind of magic.

what is plasti dip? never heard of it before or seen it. LOL. I know, dumb question.

Its in a spray can and it's kind of a rubberized paint. Like what's on some plier handles.
