Plasti Dipped 19" Wheels on Black Gen ;)
I'm about to deploy (getting new wheels when I get back) and I was curious to see what this plasti dip would look like on my Gen. It came out better than I had imagined.
I used 3 cans of regular Black Plasti Dip. I put a lot of thin coats on because I didn't want it to drip anywhere and I was very patient haha. Overall, it took a couple of hours minus the prep time of cleaning, dismounting/remounting the wheels.
I let each coat dry for about 6-10 minutes (basically when it didn't look wet anymore). I let the finished product dry for about 2 hours before I put them back on my car. Enjoy!
This is the prep work.

I just used my tire iron in my car to put the lugs back on. I went slow while I was tightening and it didn't peel at all.

I got mine from Lowes which only had black. There is a site, Dipyourcar that makes custom plasti dip colors. I thought about trying it but again this was just for fun because I'm getting new wheels as soon as I get back.
