How to Plasti Dip Rims - Step By Step (Walk Through)
Вставка

- I will show you how to Plasti Dip wheels the proper way, my way. Showing you all a matte black finish, satin finish, gloss finish and silver metalizer finish. Apply a minimum of 6 coats starting off with a few light coats at first. If you have a more complex wheel make sure to be careful for runs by not spraying to heavy. You could also roll the wheel around to spray any missed spots if needed. Wait 15-20 minutes between each coat, the more coats you put the better, more durable and easier to peel off in the long run if you want. You could always spray a different color over the existing Plasti Dip color if you want to change it after a certain amount of time. Clean, Spray, Peel.
Whats needed?
- Respirator (Harsh To Inhale Dip)
- Spray Nine/Soap & Water (Cleaning Product)
- Microfibre Towel (Cleaning Cloth)
- Plasti Dip (Spray Product - heat in water before spraying_
- Armor All Tire Shine/Tape (For Tire)
- Dip Coat/Dip Shield (After Care)
- Warm/Heated Area (Dont Spray In The Cold)
1. REMOVAL OF WHEELS:You could either spray the wheels on the vehicle and mask the brake caliper and rotor with stuffing a bag behind the rim covering it all or if you perfer to spray them off the vehicle which i like to do because i feel like i could get more coverage around the whole wheel, jack up the vehicle and remove wheels.
2. CLEANING: Spray the wheels down with spray nine cleaner or soap and water then wipe off all the dirt, grime and debris that may be on the wheel, make sure to get the outer lip of the rim and also in the lug nut area. Heat (if needed) and dry rims completely making sure their is no more loose dirt or water.
3. TIRE SHINE/TAPE TIRE: When the wheels are clean and dry. You want to tire shine the side wall of the tire so when you do spray your plasti dip it will come off much easier on the tire. Put a fair amount but their is no need to soak the tire. Be careful not to get any tire shine on the rim. I like to spray tire shine on a microfiber cloth and wipe around the side wall carefully making sure i cover the whole side wall in tire shine. Armor all tire shine works great for me. You could also tape the tires up but that could be time consuming. When you give the rim a coat make sure to spray the tire side wall as well so it will bubble up and peel off easy.
4. SPRAY: As soon as your done that, heat up your plasti dip cans with either a heat gun or a bucket of hot water and let them sit for 15-20 minutes, shake well and your ready to spray! Were going to use one can per rim 4 black, one wheel will be matte, next wheel will be satin, third wheel will be gloss and last wheel i will show silver metalizer. Start off with a couple light coats and get heavier as you go on but make sure you don't go too heavy where runs could occur. You could do as much coats as you want. The more you do the longer lasting and more durable it is. After 3-4 coats turn the wheels so you could get the spots you might have not got full coverage on yet. Wait 15-20 minutes between each coat
5. PEEL TIRE/AFTER CARE: After you got a full coverage on your wheels i usually wait 1-2 hours and then peel off the tire. You will notice it will all be bubbled up and lifted just grab a piece and it will come off easy leaving you with a completed project! Apply Dip Coat/Dip Shield after to increase durability and protection. If applied correctly with the right amount of Plasti Dip coats (minimum of 6) it will last you 2-3 years

You could wash your vehicle with a pressure washer or run it through a car wash. Remember only soap and water is needed to clean the wheels. Brake dust pro also works great as a touchless wash by spraying the wheel waiting abit and then pressure wash the wheels and they will be clean! Dip shield will also extend the life of the wheels as it acts like a wax!

New video on high gloss on rims! ua-cam.com/video/ELCVMYgKMPY/v-deo.html
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.
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?
@@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!
Appreciate it! Thanks
I've been studying painting with a spray gun and discovered an awesome website at Magic Painter Method (check it out on google)
2 decks of playing cards placed between the wheel and the tire to prevent overspray on the tires works great.
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
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.
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
One of the best videos showing cleaning the wheels, and the different coatings. Good job. Very helpful.

Looking like brand new rims when you plasti coat!
Perfect! Simply perfect fucking video! I don't need anymore videos on this, you cover everything. Thanks for making this, much appreciated.
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.
Ayyy! Thats what i like to hear!

Thank you! I appreciate it :)
Straight to the point. Good video!
Thank you!
Veru nice and well done , as you seem clever and good at it . I liked the satin better than the high gloss , it became a bit cheap . Thanks
Nice video! Thanks Man! Metalizer looks awesome
Do u have to use the dip coat or dip shield at the end of the six coats for the matte finish?
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
This gives me the confidence I was looking for to do my wheels, thank you! 🙏
Awesome! Im glad to hear that and good luck:)
@@EhabHalat how many plastic dip did you use peer weel
@@thenotoriouss09 i use 4 cans usually. 1 can for each wheel
@@EhabHalat tanks
super good and helpful video my friend, thanks!
Thank you! Glad you liked it
Very helpful 🙌🏽
Great video thanks!
Great video bro!
America 1911 45 acp appreciate it man!
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!!
Glad to hear and good luck!
@@EhabHalat thank you
how do you take the center wheel cap off afterwards?
Awesome video bro.. Thank you!
Thanks for the comment man :)
nice I'll try it on
I love this plasti dip stuff!
Great video. Thanks!!
Thank you!
Freaking awesome video!!!!
Great video, thank you !
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks
Thanks bro worked out great
Glad to hear that!
@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.
Great video
AWESOME!!!
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!
Earthling
Lmao!
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. 😂🤣
Earthling best comment ever.
🤣🤣🤣
Don't go Josh, It's a trick. TRUST ME.
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!
What color dip is the 4th one over second row from the top? Above the right side of the paper?
Fantastic video
Thank you!
Very nice guys
Earned my subscription
Thank you :)
You're the best!
Haha thanks i appreciate the comment
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)
On point!! Hey man I've got brand new rims, what's your recommendation on painting them? I prefer regular flat black. Your comment is appreciated 👊🏿
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.
Great job sir👍👍👍
Thank you
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.
مبدع
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 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.
How long will plastidip last on offroad aluminium wheels? How much abuse does this stuff take? Thanks for the vid!
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.
Actually it does. My Silverado was done almost 6 years ago and just now starting to show needing to be redone.
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.
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?
Thanks! Im glad to hear and wait about 15-20 min between each coat
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
@@EhabHalat Okay thank you very much for taking the time to answer. You are very helpful and informative.
Tatooine made sure there was no water in the outer rim.
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
I love how everyone's always comes out perfect I try all the time and my shit looks horrible I suck lmao
Same lol
Nice video man. I gonna do this to my chrome 22s, would it be the same 1can per wheel?
Good video dude very well done I was wondering how they did wheels
Thanks! Stay tuned for more videos! Bigger, better things to come
Good tutorial and video :)
great video, very informative
How long in between spray coats did you wait? Thanks!!!
Melissa Dillitzer hey! Usually about 15-20 minutes between each coat
Got a few questions. Can you spray the plasti dip over previously painted wheels? And can you use the metalizer then gloss over them?
Yes you can plasti dip over previously painted wheels but i would wait 1 month before plasti dipping over them to make sure you don’t have any reactions. Yes you can use metalizer and than the gloss on top
Well done
Thank you
yo yo he said "apply dip coat and dip shield", too get that longevity of 3 years do i need too apply both or just one?
Just one
hi its been 3 years can we get an update lmaooo
Yeah need longevity report please
These wheels are long gone they were peeled and sold but they will last 3-5 years as long as they are taken care of and washed once a week
Great vid and comparison 👍
Now, how many minutes should we wait between each coat? Thanks.
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
@@EhabHalat Great, thank you!
At the end of the video, the 4 rims lined up, which product is the second rim, satin or metallizer.
Swag_Skool_101 - It’s a bit late, but the wheels from left to right are: mat, gloss, satin, and metalizer.
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
So after dipping rims, would you have to apply any kind of tire shine to the tires by microfiber towel or can you just spray?
israel scott only use water based tire shine or tire foam. They are both safe on liquid wraps
Liquid Dipper recommendations?
israel scott i use Armor All Tire Foam or Meguiars Back to Black. They shine the liquid wrap as well!
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
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🙌🏻
Good luck! No problem :)
I have a diamond plated aluminum truck tool box, will it work on that?
Seline Ramos yes of course this stuff can be pretty much sprayed over anything!
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.
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
Do you have to put any 'finish' on matt black?
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.
TheVintage Attic hey! I never had that issue but i have heard of that happening. You just have to be careful and go slow when tightening the lug nuts
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.
I don't have jack stands so id have to do one at a time if removing rims
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.
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
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.
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
