- At least 4 cans of your choice color of Plasti Dip - If you don't use enough, the coat will be too thin; and then A: it won't cover, especially if you're trying to change the color of your car, and B: it won't be thick enough to easily peel off later.
- A couple packs of 3x 5 index cards or a couple rolls of blue masking tape
Step 1:
Removed wheels from the car before you spray them.
Step 2:
Wash the wheels thoroughly. Make sure there is no grease or dirt.
Step 3:
Start by using index cards to protect the tires. Stick and overlap 3x5" index cards in the lip of the wheel between the rim and the tire. If you don't have index cards, use blue painters tape to protect the tire. The dip will peel off the tire, but you might as well keep it clean.
Step 4:
Shake cans well - they will spray clear if you don't mix them up. Apply a THIN!!!! & EVEN coat at first. The first coat is THIN, barely noticeable. You need to build it up slowly, TAKE YOUR TIME FOR BEST RESULT.
Step 5:
You will use 1-2 cans applying the first and second thin coats on all four (4) wheels. After that, you should work on one wheel at a time building up coat after coat basically until you run out of paint. You want a smooth, thick coat to protect the wheel, give it an even finish so it comes off easily later.
HELPFUL TIPS: Too close - it will be too thick, show streaks, and bubble up with little pin holes. Too far away -it will be way too textured. The issue here is that once you find the good distance - which is about 6 inches away, don't move. It doesn't matter if it's the first coat, or the last - if you go in too close on even one spray - you will have to redo the entire wheel - because it will stick out like a sore thumb. Use a sweeping motion, releasing the trigger on each side to side pass. Also, pay close attention to the distance of the spray. Take your time, and focus on keeping the right distance and even coverage
