That is pretty cool.

For perspective, I despise plastidip, pavement scraping, and generally dislike colored rims. And yet, nguyening's G is cool. Somehow. Can't explain it.

 

Come to the dark side.. It only takes some lowering springs to start.

 

Not low enough !

nguyening, the plastidip job looks amazing! Excellent results. But did you photoshop you car lower again..?

 

nguyening: I am not a fan of plastidip but that was a fine job. Congrats at having one clean looking G, my man.

Here is another view, the copper's color is enhanced when sun rays bounce of of it.

 

Thanks for the pics "Mr. Winning"
Those look stunning, the difference in tone w/ the lighting is amazing. Definitely giving me some food for thought.

 

looks good! i have the same metalizer on my wheels, the only difference is i did only one coat so it looks more black than copper

Those rims are beautiful. I'm rethinking the whole Plastidip trend.

 

Didn't know you dipped your wheels too, nice work

 

This is plastidip done right.

 

I have a friend who works as a car mechanic and I saw him do the plasti dip. It is kind of remarkable, really. You don't need to do much prep work at all before spraying it on almost anything including chrome. No sanding, no scuffing, nothing more usually than just an alcohol wipe down and you're good to go. And when you want to take it off, it literally just peels off like you would expect a rubber coating to do, because that's basically what it is.

I know guys who have sprayed a full set of wheels, a hood, etc and no problems at all. It holds up surprisingly well, even when washing the car although I don't think I'd want to run it through a cheap automatic car wash.

It may be regarded as a cheap alternative to powdercoating, but it gives you the chance to be a bit creative and see how something might look if you did powder coat it or paint it, and you can just peel it off and return that part to original without fear of damaging it or spending much money to try out the look.
