Default Plasti-Dipped my wheels today

I had 3 cans of it so I decided to make my wheels black. The truck looks even better now and this will be a good fix until one day when I can afford my lift and new wheels/tires.

Hope you all enjoy and sorry for the crappy pics, better ones later.

I would say that is quite a good solve for a new look until new rims & tires are a possibility. Especially for a few bucks a can. Looks good dude!

If you use plasti dip then you'd have to use the plasti dip clear coat. Only sold online.

When I taped it off I took index cards and put them all the way around between where the wheel is against the tire and just took newspaper and taped that on the rest of the tire just in case the index cards didn't protect it all the way. And no I did not do the backs, had only three cans and used them all doing two thick layers on the four tires.

Only problem is is they only sell it in pails, not spray.

The clear colored Plasti Dip is not a clear coat.
