Plasti-Dip on Comp Rims
New to the forum and new to BMW. Just recently purchase my first 2011 bmw m3 alpine white and wanted to black out the rims any suggestions vs buying black rims?
Has any one tried Plasti dip on the Comp rims? Is Plasti-dip hard to remove if I don't like the look? Asking because the comp rims have a bunch of grooves, which may make it difficult. Also is there a time individuals have it on rims prior to removing? Any thoughts, suggestions, advice? |

Plastidip can be power washed off but it will be difficult. If you have any chips the pressure from te washer may chip it further. You are better off powder costing

Man, dont worry about the people who make snide remarks about spending $20 on a $70K car. I did my 220s a year ago and they still look great, though they could use some touch up like any wheels.
Bottom line is that if you take your time they'll look good. If you dont like it, peel it off. Not the end of the world. I put some tips on this site so you may be able to find them. Basically use a lot of light coats, the more you put on the easier it is to remove, and make sure to clean the nozzle so that it doesn't gunk up and sputter. |
