Has anybody plasti dipped?...... Opted for Matt Black now

[Scottymon]

you can laquer it but it wont peel off very easliy when you want to remove it, it will come off in tiny bits, if you want it gloss you can plastidip glossefier and do a couple of coats of that

Cheers mate... have you tried a regular lacquer on plastidip and experienced that happening on removal?  
I would use glossifier but reports are it's a bit lame.

I see the same company do a metalizer and pearlizer too.

I cant imagine using normal lacquer over the top is a great idea is it?

mmm didnt know they sold pearl finish might have to check that out!

Reasons being?

[Veee-dubber]

Would normal lacquer not affect the removeability of the plastidip?

[Scottymon]

Most likely... By how much? I don't know, so will test it out.   Assumption is the mother of all cockups.

Haha, I look your outlook! let me know how you get on! What are you spraying? Not body panels I hope?

[Stanipkiss]

My attempt at spraying my chrome grill, covered well and added the plate mount too. Gonna get it on the car some time over there weekend.
Not attempted the lacquer tho.

The lacquer over plastidip kind of removes its elasticity so won't peel off in big bits, you can still get it off but very time consuming, I pretty sure there is a video of it on dip your car YouTube channel

I just done a set of my wheels in plasti dip today...



More pics in my members ride thread.

[Scottymon]

Yeah, don't lacquer plastidip   At least I know from personal experience now... it completely destroys the hardy finish, you can literally fingernail it all off (even after curing of two days)... plus you then have to remove it like you would a sticker on a DVD case, i.e. A royal pain in the ass.  After spending an hour stripping a wheel back, then re-coating...the warning is there! :)

Love your photo RomoCop, is that the metalizer finish?  I've got those exact centres to go on too.

Final outcome. I done my brakes while wheels where off aswell.







Thoughts?

It actually looks really good! nice job bro! 

I have been thinking about plasti dipping my wheels matt black for a long time, after seeing this its raised my confidence to do it to my wheels

Looks Great Ant 

Great finish, and it makes the wheels look bigger than 17's

What's this like when the cars filthy and you clean the wheels? Will it come off? Or is it that robust that you need to peel it?
