Pictures of slipstreams plastidipped

[viper2ko]

Considering plastidipping my 19s when winter comes around and taking off the arachnids. Anyone have any pictures? Don't feel like dropping 1k on powder coating.

I would post it in this thread: Show off your aftermarket wheels.

Might be quite a few in there...

Plastidip on 20" Slipstreams. 2 years and 13,000 miles later still holding up well.

Looks good! Did you spray the interior wheel well too?

Where are you located? I'm getting 800-1000 for all four

Central Connecticut. Most places were charging $125 per wheel, and I found one that charged $75 for two layer, $65 for single layer powder.

I paid $700 CAD for all four (powder coated satin black), which is about $490 USD and I am sure I could have gotten them done less expensive if I really searched around but I had a guy that came recommended so I went for it, but I am surprised at your US pricing, because typically you can find things cheaper south of the border.

Quality powdercoating shouldn't cost you more than 400-500 including the labor to re-mount/balance your tires. Don't tell them it's for a Tesla when you're getting the quote. Just give the wheel dimensions.

Personally I'd avoid plastidip. Works great initially but after about 6 months areas begin to peel, especially if you need to have tires changed and it is very difficult to get off. I had them on my HRE P40's and it was impossible to remove so I had to send the wheels back to HRE to get professionally refinished.

A lot of people will claim you just need more coats to make it easier to remove but I applied 5 coats and it didn't help.

Plastidip?

Plastidip?

No painted. My wheel guy said plastidip should be outlawed.

Do you have some high res close up pics of your wheels that you can share here please? Thanks.

Lie. Tell them it's for a Chevy. The make of car shouldn't have anything to do with their quote. Aside from size and number of pieces, a wheel is a wheel. If your powdercoater is insisting on knowing what kind of car it's for, find another place because they're quoting you the person-with-an-expensive-car price.

They look absolutely stunning! You got the inner and outer barrels also coated?

 

[Cheburashka]

I've never had any problems removing plati-dip. Just spray some WD-40 to accelerate the process.

Yes and thank you.
