I'm doing my Avalon rims today. The clear coat is pedaling so I'd like your thoughts. I plan to use Aircraft paint striker to remove the clear coat completely. Then once they are completely dry, I plan on 3 coats of black followed by 2 coats of Black Sapphire and then 2 coats of Glosifier. I dont plan to put any clear coat back on prior to dipping my wheels. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
@@EhabHalat I'm spool sorry use the 2k clear before I use the Plastidip or after Plastidip for protection and shine protection. Again sorry I did not understand. Thanks so much for your help. I really appreciate it. Subscribed.
MrOptioneer use the 2k gloss for the last coat after you apply the plasti dip and pearl colours. Just do one light coat followed by one medium/heavy coat right after to seal it all in and let it dry for 48 hours
of all the videos on UA-cam not many showed four different versions like you did. in my opinion probably the best plasti dip video. thank you for making it!
Hey Joshua, this is your Aunt Linda I heard about all the little friends you made on You Tube! I just wanted to say I am so proud of you! p.s. Your uncle Jim wont be back till next week i'd love for you to stop by and keep me company;) Okay love and miss you bye Joshy!
JOSHUA,then says Joshy!🤔 I think your Aunt Linda is trying to embarrass you, or she's a hater pretending to make a funny comment that's covered in salt.lol Btw her profile picture is creepy. 😂🤣
I just got my rav4 & was looking at cost effective ways to get my stock rims blacked out. I initial was thinking of a wheel skin but I think this may be the best and cheapest route. I most likely will do it with the rims on. Thank you!!
With the proper amount of coats it could last 2-3 years. The more coats the more durable, it could withstand alot. Minimum of 6 coats, 10 coats would be more suitable for off roading rims.
Ehab Halat I’ve heard that if you don’t renew it like every 5 months then it gets really hard to take it off... is that true? How long should I wait before I renew it?
@@Carlos-tx9vt you don't have to renew it if you apply the proper amount of dip the first time. It stays soft and peelable over time, whatever how long it is.
Awesome video !!!!!!! I like that you waisted NO time and got right to it, a quick question, on my rims I want to leave the center section uncoated would I tape it off or is there a product to apply to the aluminum?? Again fantastic video
With certain rims that are bigger where you can see the inside of the barrel when its on the vehicle is definitely worth doing the whole rim but for smaller rims you dont really see the inside barrels when its on the vehicle. I only do them if the customer wants to pay extra for it.
Richard Zoghaib yes they would, that's why after I'm done refinishing my factory aluminum rims I'm going to paint them. That way I don't have to worry about parts being pulled off.
Everything in this video was awesome but I am a little unclear with one thing. If i wanted to get the satin look, do I have to use the matt plasti dip first, and then the semi gloss. Just wanna know if i have to work all the way through stages of the plasti dip or can I just start and only use the satin?
Ben Fanelli hey! The satinizer is a top coat only that goes on top of any colour to achieve the satin finish. You start with your base colour first and then finish it off with the satinizer (2-3 coats of it)
Hey usually about 15-30 minutes depending on the temperature but you can see with your eyes when its completely dry then its ready for another coat, just make sure its not wet still in certain areas before you apply the next coat
i almost use one can per rim.i have motorbike.its really durable.i even put nice rim sticker on it.but when u wash them just do it gentle.i also use wax to make the surface smoother and protect it from scretches.
Big shout out to #EhabHalat. Finally got my wheels done with your help. Took your advise 8 coats of Black Plastidip followed by 2 coats of 2k clear. They look amazing. Thanks for all your help.
I took a lighter to the spray can because you said heat it up. The can blew up in my face man!! You'll be hearing from my lawyers real soon!! Johnny Cochran gonna be calling you!!......lol
Thank you so much for this educational video. I have a question if anyone could help me…. I have a Nissan Maxima (SL Sports Edition) that came factory with 19” black rims. The black paint is starting to peel and chip off a little bit. Even though it’s black underneath the paint, it still bothers me and I don’t like how it looks. Do I need to have the paint taken off of my wheels before I can spray them with the plasti-dip since they are starting to peel? Thanks for any help.
Hey thanks for the comment. If you want those wheels to look perfect then i suggest you take all the black paint off because if you go over it you will still see the chips/peeled paint underneath the plasti dip
Great dude..this really gives the confidence in doing my car. BTW how long did you wait in between each coats ? will it take more time or can we immediately apply the next coat over the dip?
Will Plastic Dip cover blemishes caused by rubbing against sidewalk edges? If not, how does one prepare a rim so it looks good after applying Plasti Dip?
Chris Mack hey, it will cover the curb damage but it will show underneath the dip because it takes the shape of the rim. You will have to repair the curb damage by sanding it down making it as smooth as possible before coating the rims.
I dipped my sons rims a few years ago, but he didn't leave it on long. My question, I didn't like the way the lug nuts felt when I tightened them up. Like I was tightening against rubber! I question that part. Any ideas or concerns with that, Not getting the proper torque on the lugnuts, especially tightening against a rubber base instead of the rim.
Hey! If you are looking to do a flat black, just use black plasti dip and clear coat them after with plasti dip clear or if you want a more semi permanent finish use 2k clear coat by spraymax
Yeah, i'd recommend plasti-dip if you just want flat black, especially on new rims. Just make sure you use plenty of coats and that, apart from the first 1 or 2, they are laid on thick. It sounds counter-intuitive but plasti-dip is easiest to remove when it was laid on thick, as it tends to peel off in larger pieces. The cool thing about plast-dip is that it will actually protect the original finish of your new wheels so, if you ever decide to sell them, you can return them to original condition really easy.
lee yu well the DYC website does say “so easy ALMOST anyone can do it” lol.... I guess you’re the exception xD along with many others on the interballs
@Liquid Dipper great video. Hey idk if that’s just me but there isn’t much difference between the satin and matte black? I’ve only plasti dipped using matte black and notice they pick up dirt quicker but I like the look of matte black, will adding the satirizer fix that problem; as is have a similar look but should be easier to clean as it will have a smoothe top layer like a glosifier or in person does the satinizer look a lot different than the matte?
Zane Lee III hey! Yeah you can see a big difference in person. It gives it a light sheen and a little bit easier to clean with the satin finish rather than the matte finish. Always use a clear for a matte finish for extra protection and smoother finish.
I sprayed my rims with plastidip, black paint and gloss enamel. They are way too glossy. Is there a way to take it back to a semi shine without removing and starting over? Great how to and you are my newest best friend. JAH
If you leave the rims on the car while you spray. And then have to change the tire, this will damage the coat on lug nuts, but will it also peel of the rims too since it was sprayed together? Im just trying to figure out if i should take the time to remove the rims or be lazy n just spray while on the car. Spray one rim, then next n by the time im back to the first rim its should be ready for its next coat.
Hey, sometimes the lug nuts will stick to the rim depending on how the lug nuts sit. To be safe i would remove rims and maybe get black lug nuts because it wont last long if you plasti dip the lug nuts you have now.
@@EhabHalat what is the difference with AutoDip. A local place does entire cars, and they said they'd do my wheels in gloss black for about $300. Isn't that a little high or do they do something different than what is shown here? Thanks.
JoeBoone82 Hey! Autodip is also a removable coating which works pretty similar to any removable coating. $300 sounds about right if they are doing a good job and are authorized.
@@EhabHalat Thanks for the feedback. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't getting ripped off, or if I should just spend $100 or so in materials and do it myself. I have zero experience with it though. They said $280 for matte black and it was a little over $300 for gloss black. I couldn't find anyone else local to compare with. Only other options I looked into were powder coating, and checking several places, it was anywhere from $750 and up.
Love your channel. Quick question, how do you get the wheels when finished to not feel tacky? I did 5 coats of matte black and 3 coats of glossifier and it is so tacky, sticky. Very hard to clean because you can’t wipe it.
Thanks! This is an old video, their is no way to get it to feel not tacky thats just how it is but check out my plasti dip with 2k gloss video. That is my method i have been doing for awhile, feels smooth and super glossy
@@EhabHalat I haven’t done the wheels yet. I just peeled what I had on for 3 years and I always hated how sticky it was. I have all the stuff including the 2X clear so I’m hoping that solves my problem when I re-do these. Thanks so much for responding so fast all the time🙌🏻
Thank u! Great video! For mine I’m going to do the purple matte color but my wheels are already black, should i spray them silver or white first or just do extra layers of purple with the black tires ?
So what about the lug nuts? Seems this stuff would peel right off the lug nuts, and a lug wrench could also easily scratch the wheel. If plasti-dip gets scratched, does it start peeling quickly after? Is there a way to touch it up without it looking like crap and having to do the entire thing over?
It will rip the stuff off, and at the cost of 1 can I'd rather have my rims painted and stay that way for years versus having to redo my rims every time I change them.
Hey nice video. My friend gave me rims which has 5 year old plasti dip on it, but it's faded and has small brown spots which won't come off. Can I use the metalizer over all that and achieve the same look? if not how about a couple light coats of matte black first then the metalizer?
I've watched so many videos on this. Some sand paper the rims at first as well ? Really wanna do this to mine. However I wouldn't wanna mess it up either. Couldn't you just take the rim off the tire as well ?
No need to sand the rim down when using plasti dip. Don’t take the tires off because the plasti dip will get ruined when putting the tires back on with the tire machine. Use tire shine on the side walls and spray the side walls with every coat you do that way it will be easy to peel the dip off the side wall of the tire after or you can just tape the side wall of the tire off
What's up, Liquid Dipper - Just about to change my tires out, would you recommend doing the plasti-dip BEFORE I have the tires changed or do it AFTER. I'm thinking the coating to get damaged while they're installing the new tires. Thanks in advance!
Vincent Bejar hey! Thats a good question, its definitely best to get the tires installed first before the coating gets applied because they will get damaged with the tire machine when they go and put the tires on. Tires on first and then dip the rims!

Hey you should use the 2k clear gloss by spraymax it will make it more durable, watch my video on high gloss rims to see results
@@EhabHalat so use 2k after I strip the old clear coat off that is peeling bad. Or did you mean to use the clear coat 2K on top of the black sapphire?

I've been studying painting with a spray gun and discovered an awesome website at Magic Painter Method (check it out on google)
If you dont have tire shine Dawn dish soap works great too, body shop guy showed me this awesome trick, skip masking on alot of small projects
Works on caulking your baseboards as well! Great trick for easy clean up. Dish soap has a ton of uses.
Best plastidip video because you showed every step, using every product. Well done!
This is the only video with four variations and that talks about durability of product. Thanks for the video!
Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed!
@@EhabHalat how much time in between each coat?
@@alexhurtado4708 15-25 min depending on temperature
Best plastic dip of rims video on you tube.
2 decks of playing cards placed between the wheel and the tire to prevent overspray on the tires works great.
Straight to the point and loved that you did the gloss, satin and metal! Great video! Thank you. I personally like the metallizer
Thanks glad you liked the video
One of the best videos showing cleaning the wheels, and the different coatings. Good job. Very helpful.
Glad i watched this before i dipped my wheels! Thank you

With the proper amount of coats it could last 2-3 years. The more coats the more durable, it could withstand alot. Minimum of 6 coats, 10 coats would be more suitable for off roading rims.

Do you ever coat the inside of the rim? To prevent seeing the silver color when it's mounted on the car?
Erik Keenan
Aaaaa
A

They actually spray inside each time to cover that area, look closely you'll notice
I would of paint inside the rims as well. Some people don't but I think thank it enhances the rims.
With certain rims that are bigger where you can see the inside of the barrel when its on the vehicle is definitely worth doing the whole rim but for smaller rims you dont really see the inside barrels when its on the vehicle. I only do them if the customer wants to pay extra for it.
@@EhabHalat I agree. On my car you can see inside the rims. I forgot to mention that it was a great video.
I useda deck of cards between the rim lip and tire when i did my jeep wheels. Worked well
would the nuts whole got scratched off when you install/uninstall the tires?
Richard Zoghaib yes they would, that's why after I'm done refinishing my factory aluminum rims I'm going to paint them. That way I don't have to worry about parts being pulled off.

Thanks! Stay tuned for more videos! Bigger, better things to come
Can you do the gloss over the metalizer and will the metal show through the gloss?
Yes of course you can apply gloss over metalizer and yes it will make the metalizer flake pop even more with the gloss
If my rims already have plasti dip but is starting to chip, do I need to remove all of the original plasti dip before I add new layers?
You can thin it down with xylene and spray over top if its minor
Will Plastic Dip cover blemishes caused by rubbing against sidewalk edges? If not, how does one prepare a rim so it looks good after applying Plasti Dip?

Just spray plasti dip over it again and use a semi gloss but you might have to wait until the original coating on there now cures for about 30 days
Do u have to use the dip coat or dip shield at the end of the six coats for the matte finish?
If you leave the rims on the car while you spray. And then have to change the tire, this will damage the coat on lug nuts, but will it also peel of the rims too since it was sprayed together?
Im just trying to figure out if i should take the time to remove the rims or be lazy n just spray while on the car. Spray one rim, then next n by the time im back to the first rim its should be ready for its next coat.

Is it okay to coat your rims with Plasti dip without a primer paint?
If they are in good condition then yes its ok
Thank u! Great video! For mine I’m going to do the purple matte color but my wheels are already black, should i spray them silver or white first or just do extra layers of purple with the black tires ?
Spray them black and then spray purple on top
Good DIY.
Thanks!
So what about the lug nuts? Seems this stuff would peel right off the lug nuts, and a lug wrench could also easily scratch the wheel.
If plasti-dip gets scratched, does it start peeling quickly after? Is there a way to touch it up without it looking like crap and having to do the entire thing over?
you can try put some painter's tape on your lug wrench.
It will rip the stuff off, and at the cost of 1 can I'd rather have my rims painted and stay that way for years versus having to redo my rims every time I change them.
Nice video! Thanks Man! Metalizer looks awesome
How many bottles per wheel? Looks like it might come out pricey. Might as well get them painted and it will last longer
1 per wheel. Way cheaper than painting but also this is a removable coating not meant to hold up forever
Great job sir👍👍👍
Thank you
I have a black primer plastic spoiler should I just clear coat it or use plasti dip? I want a gloss black look
I would use plasti dip for a base
Hey nice video. My friend gave me rims which has 5 year old plasti dip on it, but it's faded and has small brown spots which won't come off. Can I use the metalizer over all that and achieve the same look? if not how about a couple light coats of matte black first then the metalizer?
Cman i would personally peel it all off and redo it but you can try to spray black first and then metalizer for a quick process.
I've watched so many videos on this. Some sand paper the rims at first as well ? Really wanna do this to mine. However I wouldn't wanna mess it up either. Couldn't you just take the rim off the tire as well ?
No need to sand the rim down when using plasti dip. Don’t take the tires off because the plasti dip will get ruined when putting the tires back on with the tire machine. Use tire shine on the side walls and spray the side walls with every coat you do that way it will be easy to peel the dip off the side wall of the tire after or you can just tape the side wall of the tire off
Great video bro!

Fantastic video
Thank you!
With the Matt Black look, don't you need to put a sealer on it? I didn't see you apply a sealer for the Matt Black.
Yeah i should make a updated video. I spray clear over the black to seal it all in and protect the matte finish better
What happen if we don put the tire shine on the tyre? To me looks good even if is only is a little bit
It will be harder to peel it off the tires
super good and helpful video my friend, thanks!
Thank you! Glad you liked it
Could u still have sprayed a layer of clear coat ontop of the Metalizer black if u wanted to?
sheldin venus yes of course, you can spray clear coat over any of the finishes
How many bottles of spray should spend per wheel?
Бојан Мргуд one aerosol per wheel! Minimum 6 coats per wheel.
Should I sand mine down first based on the fact there scraped from the curb?
Yes sand them down smooth before dipping them
Does this work on fords f150 chrome alloy wheels?
Yes it will work on all alloy wheels
Original matte blk for the win. Others look ewwwww
So when you added the satin, gloss or the metalizer, did you have to protect the tire with the tire shine like you did with the dip?
Yes you do
What happens if you change the tires? Does it hold up when unmount and mount the tires?
Yeah you have to be careful of course but it is doable and even if something does happen its easy to touch up
Awesome video bro.. Thank you!
Thanks for the comment man :)
How long do you have to wait between each coats ? Thanks
z LeaN hey, wait about 15-20 minutes between each coat. Make sure its dry before spraying next coat
What's up, Liquid Dipper - Just about to change my tires out, would you recommend doing the plasti-dip BEFORE I have the tires changed or do it AFTER. I'm thinking the coating to get damaged while they're installing the new tires. Thanks in advance!
Vincent Bejar hey! Thats a good question, its definitely best to get the tires installed first before the coating gets applied because they will get damaged with the tire machine when they go and put the tires on. Tires on first and then dip the rims!
should you mask off the holes? when installing bolts do they rip off the plasti dip?
Ive never had a problem with them but you can mask them if you like
when letting the tire dry should we air dry it or dry it with a towel?
Air dry
