I would be afraid of the process screwing up the dip. I just got a new set of winters put on and am doing the dip now for that reason.

[quote=nfisheremti;42644539]i have a question, sorry if its already been covered somewhere in the last 44 pages....
what about wheel mounting and balancing? can i spray my rims, then mount and balance the tires? i suspect that won't work, but has anyone done it?[/quote]
If it does they sell a patch/repair kit that allows you to repair the dip without having to remove it all and start again from square 1.

I have had tire put on my wheels that are dipped. Discount Tire did a pretty good job and didn't mess it up, there was a few small tears that I fixed.
If you are doing a standard color and have leftover you will be fine. Just have some Xylene on standby. When you get the tire mounted you'll need to lightly rub a little bit of Xylene over the areas that are damaged. Once that is dry touch it up with your plastidip.
The purpose of using the Xylene (thinner) over the damaged areas is to reliquify the plastidip and make sure it is bonded to the wheel before you spray the touck up.

Dipped the wheels pink for breast cancer month.
Also the fog light trim and side piece is dipped... I may be pealing them soon though.

Dipped my stockers for use as a winter set! Not quite cold enough to put them on yet.

I live in Maine, my car is fully dipped (see my photo above). Our asverage temp this winter has been about 15 degrees, we've hit lows of -20. I haven't had any issue whatsoever with my dip. My roomate has had his car dipped for almost 2 years now in Maine, through 2 winters, no problems whatsoever either. We never wash our cars.

I've done my scoop, grille, roof rack, front lip, and rear turn signals with black dip. (Don't worry, they're still legal. They're still visible from 100+ yards away in daylight, like Texas law requires. I just hated the amber but can't afford the JDM GT-B smoked tail lights at the moment) I still need to do the side skirts, rear skirt, and the bumper guard when it warms up/isn't rainy again. The all black accents look so much better than the stock mismatched black and dark grey accents, to me at least. I'm thinking about dipping the wheels in vintage gold, too.

I think the black lip thingy looks Ok, but not feeling the rest of it, sorry. As long as you like it, that's all that matters tho. :cool:

Loving that someone posted in the ORIGINAL Plasti-dip thread I posted back in the day. I like to think I had a hand in starting this trend. I also invented the internet.
In all seriousness though, I emailed Plasti-dip very early on and asked if they were interested in a sponsorship with the shop. They said that 'They didn't believe the automotive sector fell into their target market and application'.
