Plastidip

[Chris Skinner]

I called Frik - I will get 4 tins black from him on the weekend and get those rims done proto!
I think he said the price was +-170 per tin

Please post a photo when you have done it thinking of doing my ones as well

Please tell us more on how you prepped and coated the rim. Did you remove the tyres? How many coats? Drying times? What happens when you put the tyre back on or remove it? Is it really durable? How far did you get with a tin?
Thanks Bud.

Right - 5 rims done.
I my view it looks seriously cool.
used 4 tins of matt black plastidip.
Very easy to do - just clean well, put some playing cards between rim and tyre and away you go. First layer must be very light. Do at least 5 or 6 layers, dont let it run.

Must say that looks bloody good!! think I must give it a try as well, Has anybody got any experience of how long it lasts in the 4x4 real world?

Waar kan ek van dit in Bloem kry?

Hoeveel is nodig vir 5 rims?

Dankie oom.

[Chris Skinner]

I used 4 tins for 5 rims!
Obviously the more layers you do the easier it is to remove eventually by peeling it off - Frik advised one tin per rim though, but I only bought 4 initially. I managed around 5 layers which should be okay.
