Has any one PLasti Dip their OEM GT rims? I did my emblems and front chrome piece on my 2013 GT and it looks good just wondering if any one has done their rims and if so how was the turn out?
Hello and welcome!
Not sure if anyone here has dipped their alloys, but if your concern is whether it will work, you don't need to worry, they'll be fine. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8Cnc6kMnQhPob341Elr4kW2N9rtq3UfF
Hey man welcome to the club! I have not plasti dipped my wheels yet, but am certainly thinking about it. I am not sure that I have seen anyone plasti dip their wheels on a GT yet, at least not ones with the 17" rims like I have.
Hey-The chrome inserts come off easy. I've also considered plasti dipping them & the two chrome grille bars.
Welcome Mike.
This post shows Kevin's 2012 LTD's wheels plasti dipped matte black:

Hey-I've considered dipping the chrome inserts and leaving the wheels silver.
Really nice job. I like the way those wheels turned out!
Wheels are looking good. I've been debating about doing the front and rear emblems too. Looking at your pics, makes me want to do them this weekend
Looking good man. Glad to see someone take the plunge before me so I could get some ideas!
Now did you use the glossifier on the wheels or are they just flat black?
My one thought was to plastidip my wheels in black, leaving the chrome inserts chrome, and leaving the thin circle around the outside of the wheel silver (or if I did red accents elsewhere on the car maybe doing a red line around the outside). I just was thinking I'd like having something between the wheel and the tire to break up the black. Although I could always just get whitewall tires.
I really like your grill being black! Not sure that it would look as good on the gray color I have, but that looks real nice!
mike d how did you do the lettering on it so well?
Nice detail on everything! I believe I will look further into plastidip , how the glossifier works ect.
No plans for the wheels, but I did try the rear emblems last weekend. Like the "H" logo, not sure about the others, may have to retry those to look better
wow awesome job with the plastidip
