| plastic dip wheels
So I used the plastic dip and painted my wheels. Well I didn't, my hubby did lol and it turned out really really well. We will see how they hold up in the upcoming weeks. But its an inexpensive way to dress up your current wheels! $5.98/can at lowes and it took about 2 cans!

the weight should be on the inside part of the rim so it is not visible. makes the rim look better

When having your wheels balanced, "hidden weights" are supposed to be used. Its shameful on the part of the shop who did it, and very unprofessional thats all.
Clarify something for me- Is plastic dip the stuff you spray onto hand tools ect. to coat them? Looks good, your hubby did a smooth spraying job.

Someone had.mentioned it in another thread about people using it on their wheels. And thanks. Hes pretty good at that kinda stuff. We shall see how it holds up. So how do I get my weights changed to inside the rim? When I get them balanced next time?

This is the second thread where I have read the term "Plastic Dipped". So it's a spray paint? And does it come in different colors?

Well they don't hold up too well in a car wash. I took my car through the car wash and they have the conveyer belt that pulls u through it. I think that got mu wheel when u pull into the bumpers. I mean all the paints still on but there are places where it is peeling.

I used this stuff to black out containers for hydroponic growing of plants on my desk at my office. The stuff was awesome and it was called Plasti Dip at Lowe's. Didn't know people could use it as rim touch up.

I would think that a long road trip or heavy braking would cause enough heat to bubble that coating.
