O9cobaltSS - your wheels came out great!! blue & white the color combo even makes the balt look SICK!!! I wonder if the center white strips would make it look even more BAD ***!!
- the last time I seen the deck of card trick to paint wheels was about 15-20 years ago, it's nice to see it's still being used today, another old school trick is Vaseline..
we would paint Vaseline with a 1'' wide paint brush, and paint the Vaseline all away around the wheels without getting it on the rims, it's an old school way of painting the rims without taping the rims up for an hour or two.. after the paint cured, you would go back repaint with color or clear coat a few times, then let it cure again [2-3 hours later] then wash off the Vaseline..

Thought i should let u guys know i took the plasti dip off, ONLY bc its hard to clean bc its rubber and the dirt litterally sticks. Make sure you guys clear over the plasti if u decide to go this route. Oh well it was a cool experiance and im deff looking at getting them powder coated white in the future!
btw love huskies beautiful dog! (POOR DOMO!!) lmao!

Yeah, They look sick as hell! I wish that I could of found a White t/c cause that would have looked sick with White on White, I have had that Idea for years however finding a White t/c is like Impossible! So I had to settle for Black....Again

I want to dip my rims white like you did on my imperial Blue, but I am concerned with the brake dust and dirt sticking. I bought Hawk HPS pads for my new brake setup exactly having that thought in mind to minimize brake dust, but now Im a bit concerned. The reason I like plastidip is cause I want that rubbery matte feel on my rims, but I want them to stay protected as much as I can protect them. How many coats of clearcoat would you recommend?
