94 Accord Rims
 
2 Attachment(s)
I am thinking about plasti-dipping my rims on my car since they are so beat up. My friends are 50/50 on whether i should or not, due to the color of my car. any opinions will be greatly appreciated. Also I plan on tinting the windows in the next few weeks with 20% tint. I feel like with tint the rims would look better black.

Can't say that I've seen that one before?

Got any close up shots of the damage on the rims currently?

I think they would look good black.

If you dont have $500.00 for new rims, how about $375.00 for new rims.:eek:

Not bad. How do you like the outcome? I dipped my rims a few weeks ago and they still look great. I would recommend getting some glossifier and put about 5 coats on your wheels.

I have a '04 Accord EX and i've dipped my rims, emblems and my front grill.

How much does it cost to dip your rims? You can also have them sprayed with a urethane clear coat or with a clear powder coat. The urethane will give you a smoother finish but powder coat us more durable. It would cost about $300 either way.

Well if you really want to get to it, I'll say about $70? Thats a rough estimate of the price of 4 cans of plasti dip, 3 cans of glossifier, and a bottle of rim cleaner. If you don't get the glossifier, you can cut the cost down to $30-40.

Its good to note that plasti dip will cover up some road rash giving you a much smoother look. Its easy to clean and any poorly done or messed up areas can always be resprayed.
