Anybody ever heard of PLASTI DIP ?
If not, check out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FchIWF8Vi2Y or http://kkautodip.com/

but there are many other shops in thailand who sell them too.

end result after 2 hours:



Yes I know, weird color neon green, but as was bored today,

got some plasti dip and figured it would be nice to try it out (as I love gadgets and such.)

Should last at least (if applied properly) for a few years.

Anyways, thought if some of you folks wanna change the color of your car (or parts of it),

you can now safely try it out with plasti dip, it's like fast drying liquid rubber spray

cheers

My mistake, clicking on the picture

Next time you're bored stay away from your car!

Hey ****Flame removed****, I did not ask for opinions...

Only wanted to share this product with the car community here.

Guess I found out now where not to share tips anymore

LINE .X. is a sprayon coat that does away with Bin Liners in trucks ,Its good, perhaps thats why you dont see it here.U.S.Franchise.

I've seen it here used in small amounts, on wheels such as in the pic. And how many baht is one can of the stuff? Utube vids say you need 4 cans or so to do a set of wheels. Just wonder about the longevity of the stuff and if it's scratch resistant.

I find it quite cool. Especially if ones rims are well worn out anyway and the alternative would be new ones. That said I guess one could also just use normal paint? What is the actual difference?

As for color - one does not have to pick screaming pink - but to each their own!

Cheers!

It has it's uses but I don't think this is one of them IMO, but to each his own. I use it quite often for finishing, protecting and insulating parts on my race cars and some tools but not for accenting anything..

In Thailand it's very inexpensive to have your rims reconditioned and it looks as good as new for the most part.

Believe that this is a lot easier.

And can also be removed a lot easier should you wake up in a few days and realize you've done your rims in green.

From green little men to green little wheels...

Can you repaint the whole car in green?

Not a fan of the color, but the result looks nice...how much did you end up paying? Might be interested in doing my old 1980 Toyota hilux completely

I am also tempted to spray my wheels matt black, Ranger Wildtrack, chill orange. Easy to peel off if result no good as OP's .

So how much is a can?

Update I was told:

850bath for one can , if your wheels 15-16'' use 2 cans ,17-18'' use 3 cans

I use plasti-dip all the time, but not on my car rims.

After living here for the best part of 4 years the Forrest Gump term "Stupid is as stupid does" pops into my head so many times a day!

Update I was told:

OK thanks, no too bad.

I guess the wheels have too come off in order to get a good result but the tires can stay on.

There's a few videos about this on the net....about how to apply it.

Christ at that price it is cheaper to have them powder coated.

The cost would be similar or a bit cheaper than refurbishing 4 wheels. At least with plastic you can peel it off any time.

If I was going to the expense of refurbishing my wheels why would I want to pay for a product that is easily removable ?

Got a can of plasti dip tinting spray from the USA recently, peels off when it is no longer Needed!!

That's pretty cool for spraying the decals. I might try that on my ride. Thanks for the tip!

To my knowledge you can't powder coat aluminium as it's not magnetic. Powder coating charges the metal first and uses electric charge to attract and hold the material..
