i think im going to give this stuff a shot ... i really hope it repels brake dust 100x better than dip.


that onyx black looks ****

Dipped_Cobalt

^^ im with you on that one...im just hesitant on sending 65 bucks in the air.

the reason the brake dust sticks to the dip is becasue even the glossifier has a sticky texture to it. nobody ever wants to listen to me until they actually see my stuff, if you dip something and want a gloss finish just use normal gloss clear coat. i did it to my stock tc wheels a couple years ago and when i sold them, it still looked like i just dipped them.

ahhh its only $65 lol The base coat they say you need 2 cans ... is that just regular black gloss ? So 2 cans of black and then 2 cans of metallic ?

thats funny cuz i did that with my bow tie on the front and its holding up good. I dindt want to us the gloss on the wheels because i read that the paint gloss melts the dip a little and gives it a crumbled look. So i didnt do it on the wheels cuz thats much harder to re do then the bow tie lol

Dipped_Cobalt

well....my dilemma has to do with the color. plastidips red is dark, I want bright red...this one offeres gloss marenello red

Dipped_Cobalt

that's what I don't get. if I want red....what is my base color supposed to be? I don't want to spray red on top of black? it will darken it im assuming? that's why I was hesitant, not much info on this....

no base needed for the red.... its a gloss color so it just goes directly onto the surface.

the metallic colors are the ones that need the base color.

Dipped_Cobalt

^^ oh, cus on their charge it says 2 color, +1 base for 17"inch wheels.

I just went back, I didn't read the top part, you are correct, thank you kind sir.

Dipped_Cobalt

dayum...8-10 coats, ill be there all day ! lol

Yeah see its holding up haha. if the clear coat didnt melt the dip on the bowtie it wont on the wheels lol. like i said ive never had any issues with using a gloss clear coat, i always did light coats until i got a gloss finish that i wanted. i did my wheels and 3 other sets of wheels like that for friends lol.

oh ok well then looks like your spending the money haha

Dipped_Cobalt

yeah, I think I will if I want RED wheels, instead of almost burgundy I got now...(exaggerating a little)

remember there WET coats ... so by the time your done with the first coat on the 4th wheel you can take a breather a start the 2nd coat on the first one

Dipped_Cobalt

Dipped_Cobalt

the powder is cheap .... now you need the oven and the area to do all that coating.

to get wheels done around here its $500 ... ill pay the $100 every 2 years to coat them lol
