This is the second time I have plasti dipped my wheels

 

so i wanted to a little change on my wheels but didnt want to lose the original finish on my flat black advans. Followed same concept as meanz and used white plastidip as a primer/base coat (used white so I could see the coverage on the flatblack) it comes out a little more coarse/thicker than the black plastidip for some reason. So there were some spots that I didnt like the final result but over all it seems to accomplish what I am wanting. Will be stripping and redoing it shortly.

 

 

This may be old news. But I jut ran into it:

 

pretty neat

 

Interesting trick with the shelf mat material to get the CF look.

 

That's an old trick dating back to the prime ricer days, seems fitting for D.Y.C if finally getting to it.

 

Well, since my emblems have lasted over a year, I did my mirrors and rear spoiler to see how I like it. I plan on getting them painted matte if I like it enough.

PS I know some people hate these factory wheels but, since I like them and I make the car payment, I think they are ok.

 

Heres some plasti-dip crazy for u:

 

Hows the door handle holding up? Any special way to spray it on the inside part?

 

It didn't hold up well at all, the inside was too thin and was lifting so I have now peeled it off so its just the outer part black.

 

Here is the best photo I have of just the outside dipped. (No close ups, sorry)

 

Those are not factory wheels.

 

Yeah they are, they were an optional wheel.

 

I actually liked them when I first saw them back in the days. Run some spacers, Plastidip them black, then silver paint over it.

 

The really shitty wheel option?

What year was that available? I saw those on a Z the other day and they look horrible.

 

lol soon every car on my350z is going to be plastdipped haha.


I plan on doing my wheels since theyre OE and chrome.

 

Why waste your time and money just get new wheels

 

New wheels = over 700 bucks.

Can of plasti-dip = 5 bucks.

Who's wasting money on a nissan in this equation?

 

Wheels worth buying = 900+

Wheels worth buying + tires worth tracking = >1700$

That being said, my 6 spoke touring wheels looked nice for the first few months, but then the plasti-dip got all nasty looking. I'm removing it this week.
