white flexidip + plastidip glossifier
3 Attachment(s)
I thought 7 spoke 18" amg rims color isn't good match for white ext.
so I bought flexidip white and plastidip glossifier and test painted one rim. i've used plastidip and flexidip both. most of people use plastidip. i picked flexidip instead of plastidip because flexidip feels more like premium and surface was easier to paint evenly. but damn flexidip's nozzle kept leaking :report::report::report:and got all my fingers wet.:mad: here is the result.... after 2 days, it got dirty...white color << brake dust lesson learned...It is a lot better to take wheels off... |
When clean they look nice tho :y
|
i think it looked better stock

Good job. it looks pimp at least for a little while. Might want to try black insides and white spokes to hide the break dust. Maybe? :nix:

Are your wheels pitted? I ask because that close up shows a rough finnish. I was considering doing this as well, not in white though. Just wondering if that is the finnish that is to be expected, or was the rim not in that good of condition before you started?

that finish/texture is to be expected for plastidip |
That's disappointing...

it doesn't look half bad
But like you said white wheels and brake dust so horrible ! |

It does have rough finish because I couldn't wait...I needed to wait after each coat but I didnt...it was getting dark... |
