I will show you how to Plasti Dip wheels the proper way, my way. Showing you all a matte black finish, satin finish, gloss finish and silver metalizer finish. Apply a minimum of 6 coats starting off with a few light coats at first. If you have a more complex wheel make sure to be careful for runs by not spraying to heavy. You could also roll the wheel around to spray any missed spots if needed. Wait 15-20 minutes between each coat, the more coats you put the better, more durable and easier to peel off in the long run if you want. You could always spray a different color over the existing Plasti Dip color if you want to change it after a certain amount of time. Clean, Spray, Peel.

Whats needed?
- Respirator (Harsh To Inhale Dip)
- Spray Nine/Soap & Water (Cleaning Product)
- Microfibre Towel (Cleaning Cloth)
- Plasti Dip (Spray Product - heat in water before spraying_
- Armor All Tire Shine/Tape (For Tire)
- Dip Coat/Dip Shield (After Care)
- Warm/Heated Area (Dont Spray In The Cold)

1. REMOVAL OF WHEELS:You could either spray the wheels on the vehicle and mask the brake caliper and rotor with stuffing a bag behind the rim covering it all or if you perfer to spray them off the vehicle which i like to do because i feel like i could get more coverage around the whole wheel, jack up the vehicle and remove wheels.

2. CLEANING: Spray the wheels down with spray nine cleaner or soap and water then wipe off all the dirt, grime and debris that may be on the wheel, make sure to get the outer lip of the rim and also in the lug nut area. Heat (if needed) and dry rims completely making sure their is no more loose dirt or water.

3. TIRE SHINE/TAPE TIRE: When the wheels are clean and dry. You want to tire shine the side wall of the tire so when you do spray your plasti dip it will come off much easier on the tire. Put a fair amount but their is no need to soak the tire. Be careful not to get any tire shine on the rim. I like to spray tire shine on a microfiber cloth and wipe around the side wall carefully making sure i cover the whole side wall in tire shine. Armor all tire shine works great for me. You could also tape the tires up but that could be time consuming. When you give the rim a coat make sure to spray the tire side wall as well so it will bubble up and peel off easy.

4. SPRAY: As soon as your done that, heat up your plasti dip cans with either a heat gun or a bucket of hot water and let them sit for 15-20 minutes, shake well and your ready to spray! Were going to use one can per rim 4 black, one wheel will be matte, next wheel will be satin, third wheel will be gloss and last wheel i will show silver metalizer. Start off with a couple light coats and get heavier as you go on but make sure you don't go too heavy where runs could occur. You could do as much coats as you want. The more you do the longer lasting and more durable it is. After 3-4 coats turn the wheels so you could get the spots you might have not got full coverage on yet. Wait 15-20 minutes between each coat

5. PEEL TIRE/AFTER CARE: After you got a full coverage on your wheels i usually wait 1-2 hours and then peel off the tire. You will notice it will all be bubbled up and lifted just grab a piece and it will come off easy leaving you with a completed project! Apply Dip Coat/Dip Shield after to increase durability and protection. If applied correctly with the right amount of Plasti Dip coats (minimum of 6) it will last you 2-3 years

You could wash your vehicle with a pressure washer or run it through a car wash. Remember only soap and water is needed to clean the wheels. Brake dust pro also works great as a touchless wash by spraying the wheel waiting abit and then pressure wash the wheels and they will be clean! Dip shield will also extend the life of the wheels as it acts like a wax!
