Default I followed you trend setters...lol

Nick texted me yesterday and told me about you guys painting your rims with that plasti dip stuff and it needing no prep or anything and it would work on my chrome 20s...So I was like alright come over and lets do this haha. We actually got it done pretty quickly w no problems and I think it looks great...I need to take off my badges and repaint them with this stuff. I am kinda diggin the flat black look. Anyway, on to to the pictures! Oh and i repainted my bullbar finally as well haha.

Ignore my ghetto rigging, the jack wasn't tall enough:|

lol well I just meant Nick said that there were several guys who all did this recently with the plasti-dip stuff.


I haven't been able to paint on the chrome before now without scratching it up, and even then it prob wouldnt stick very well.

Thanks man.

The worst part of this mod was moving those dam tires around and getting them back on the truck haha.

Those stupid 35s are so dam heavy...

those look good. what would REALLY set it off is a yellow pinstripe around the outside of the rim.

DUDE I KNOW!

When I was gonna get them powdercoated I was gonna pay a lil bit extra to get a yellow lip. They actually make that plasti-dip in yellow Nick told me, but they didn't have it at home depot, so I would have to order it online.

Maybe one day when I feel like doing it I will.

I was going to paint my gray rock rails and front trim on the Jeep black. Was going to have to use an adhesion promoter before painting them, but after hearing how well the Plasti Dip sticks, I think I'm gonna have to try it myself.
