Why don't you plasti dip them cost about £50 for all 4 and you can revert back to original anytime
I tend to use anthracite as its a nice color against silver cars and dark cars

On a quality scale plasti dip comes on the last place after resprayed and powder coated - powder coated is still the best and i if don't like it any more, i get them resprayed. Wink All my spelling errorz are belong to me!

Well that's an interesting observation as my partners car is now two years old and the plasti dip is still as good as the day I did it

So have to disagree mate

It's a good choice especially if you have a new car or one that's on a contract and you are worried about warranty issues

No worries pal

It's good stuff really as if you give it around six coats it becomes really tough
You can paint grills etc and they don't get stone chips.

I looked into this once and watched endless YouTube videos on how plasti dip works and spraying an entire car vs wrapping.

It's not as easy as it sounds and the car needed about 12 coats in total. But if it gets a nick in it, it starts to peel off!
You only need some smart arse who is jealous to start peeling it off to ruin your car!


I think I'd agree with Frank on this. Discovery 4 HSE

Well there we are then observations made and let's agree to disagree

I have done all four types of wheels

Diamond cut refinishing
Powder coating
Painting
Plasti dip

They all have pro,s and cons but I do like plasti dip simply for ease

Go to www.cardipuk.com

That's the place I use to get my wheel kit is about £35 and if you don't like it or can't do it then simply peel it off
You paint the wheels on the car with the tyres on so even that's a bonus

These are my wheels from a RRS and underneath the plasti dip they had a bad life Sad

sfrain..

have you driven your car through a car wash? I'm thinking the rail system that moves the car through will scratch off the plastidip on the wheels 2014 FF Autobiography 5.0 SC

Personally speaking I have never put any car I have owned through a car wash but have jet washed my wheels and its very strong
