Ya Kane it just shot through an electric HVLP gun. Just gotta buy the plasti dip in a gallon and thin it with some Xylene (1:1 ratio). Toolbox would probably look pretty sweet if it was dipped blue.

Jamie plasti dipped his Ikea lamp baby blue, he should probably post some pics up haha

Re: plasti dipping colors

was never a huge fan of the nogaro blue but if i can get the dip mix close i think this is my summer season colour.

Re: plasti dipping colors

85% blue, 15% black. Would be the same color Fonzie did his S4, and would look absolutely sick on your UrS4!!!

Re: plasti dipping colors

Anyone want to do my winter steelies for me? I'm pretty busy these days but could pay in beer and would purchase the dip. How many cans for a winter coat on a set of 15" steelies? Better than hubcaps I say...

Re: plasti dipping colors

Personally I wouldnt do steelies because they always seem to stay dirty no matter how well you wash them (unless they are brand new of course). Not sure how good the dip would look on the steelies, let alone how well it would hold up. Hub caps are much easier both for spraying and for removing in the future!

Re: plasti dipping colors

Good evening all. I have a set of 18" A8 wheels that i use for my winters. Do you think these are suitable for Plasti Dip and can anybody here do a good job and how much would it cost and in gloss black and thank you.

Any wheels can be suitable for plasti dip. My suggestion is to do it yourself, its really not hard and this way you can ensure you take care of the wheels properly. I dont know where you can buy this stuff in edmonton but what you will need is about 4 cans of matte black, and then a can of glossifier. Use all of the matte black cans (probably about 4-5 nice thick coats), then do 1 or 2 thin coats of glossifier.

Take good care when spraying, because the matte black is much thicker which will allow it to just "cake" on smoothly without running, however the glossifier is much thinner so your coats need to be nice and thin so that it doesnt run. PM me if you have any direct questions
