Another good tip I learned is after a few solid coats, move the car forwards or backwards to achieve a 180degree rotation on the wheels. After that, coat the wheels another 2 or 3 times for maximum coverage.

This guy is so legit. Refreshing to seeing good people doing good and informative no bs videos.

Another great way to mask off the tires(if you don't have the dip release) ive done many times in the past whether it was plasti dip or spray painting wheels. Take 2 decks (I believe you need 2) of playing cards and stick them in between the very edge/lip of the rim and tire then overlap the cards around the entire wheel. It greatly reduces overspray on the tires while you spray paint the wheels.

This is really helpful. Idk why so many people hate on dipping the wheels. When you do it right like you emphasize, it saves hundreds and even thousands depending on the wheels you have if you get then powder coated

Thanks for taking the time to cover these tips. It means a lot to the diy minded person. Great vid Cheers

The warm water tip is something I wish I had when I did my first wheel dip, it makes a world of difference, especially in December in Ohio, even in the garage. It goes from a splatter-finish spray into something that behaves a lot like regular spraypaint.

The tip not to lay the wheels down flat is huge. Never heard anyone else mention that. Thanks!

[kevincharliefoxtrot]

The best I’ve seen regarding the prep. However, what about the lug nuts? Mask em? How well will a socket fit over several layers of coating? Thanks again.

just use flash cards to block off tires from rims

[asiancop]

Man, it seems like such a simple thing but I have always messed up spray painting things. Your tips on how to actually paint with the light layer and then heavy coats is great, thanks for this video.

wow, the camera clarity and audio have come A LONG way, since you first started doing these videos. Awesome step by step on how to do it right.

I dipped my C6 Corvette wheels, i removed the wheels, cleaned and sprayed the huge barrels also...then painted the lugs seperately with Rust-Oleum. Turned out amazing and if i ever want to reverse the results just peel it off, i did 7 nice thick coats, almost a can and a half per wheel.

Really informative Fonzi, thanks and hope it's helps everyone out

[ldontcomment]

Hello, your video was very helpful but I have one question. In your final product the BMW emblems weren't plasti dipped, how did you remove the plasti dip around the emblems? Thank you

[bigblov]

Why is this frowned upon this is awesome easy and pain free I’m going to order mine soon

[timgmusic]

What about the center of the tire with the logo?

[vladstr]

I wish I had this video when I plastidipped my wheels. The tip about not laying the wheels flat would have been incredibly helpful in not getting a textured look on some of the parts of the wheel.

What did you do to avoid dipping the M and BMW badges? It didn't look like you taped them at all and just sprayed over them?
