Default To plasti-dip or not?

I have an '07 350Z and I feel like a black would look more distinctive on my Volk racing rims than the charcoal gray

Plastidip is only the answer when you just want to see the color before powdercoat

Plasti-dip em to see what they look like and if you like the look. It won't hurt them at all, it peels right off. If you like it, get em done right....powdercoat em. If not, just peel it off and fuhgetaboutit.

plastidip is a good option to see if a color works for you or not. Did plastidip on my advans then painted over top color I wanted. Decided want it permanent so just to strip and do it proper. Not a big deal

This man speaks the truth. there is nothing wrong with using plastidip to see what you think of a color but it is not a permanent solution. Get them powdercoated and be done.

I ****ing hate Plasti-dip and all the shitty looking wheels and vehicles covered in it. Its almost as stupid as hella camber making your sports car a worthless piece of ****. I also would never even think of putting that **** on my $4,000 Volks. Do it right!

Whats so bad about spending 40.00 to paint something which can be completely removed if unhappy?

as to

powder which is 400+ then stuck with it.

It serves its purpose. Don't like it done use it.

^ That's not why most people use it. Most use it because they are too cheap to pay for paint or vinyl.

Go for it, worst case scenario if you dont like it you just peel it off.
