f*ck maybe I'm getting old. But f*ck me, jacking car up. Removing wheels, cleaning wheels, spraying wheels numerous times the putting back on car etc etc.

For three months.

f*ck that.

More power to you guys and Gals that do though. From what I've seen they look good.

the way I have always plastisipped wheels was

give the wheels a good clean when washing the car.

cover up the brakes. I just stick newspaper in behind the spokes to cover everything up.

spray the wheels a few times then a bit later carefully take the newspaper out and if youve done it thick enough most of the overspray on the tyres comes off in one piece.

I did the whole jacking car up taking wheels off crap but it was too hard and not needed at all.

spray them on the car for the win.

Completed my wheels today when I did the brakes and turned out okay.

4 coats of armour all and 3 coats of plasti dip clear.

Just a heads up dont use armour all clear as it is a matt clear not like the plasti dip which is a glossifier

Looks the goods mate I like it a lot, really suit the car. All you need is black wheel nuts.

I not sure if it would suit my colour car this is why I haven't did mine yet.

Hey guys so today I decided to grab a can of black plastidip, I have done the front lip at the moment and I love it, it come up really well, I did 3 coats only about half hour in between each other outside.

Tomorrow I might have a go at doin the badges, has anyone got any tips I don't really want to take them off the car? Or am I better off just buying some already black off the net?

Here is another option that I have tried since as I had peeling issues with the armour all version. This is an australian company and I have found it so much better as you can get the gun and buy it by the litre
