Plasti dipped wheel

[2001goldGTP]

So i wanted to see what my pies would look like if i had them powder coated. So the cheaper and easier way was plasti dip and tape on my spare pie wheel. The results could be better but i was my first time with the plasti dip. I will be saving up to have this done nicely.

This one is my personal favorite! You should do this to the other wheels with plastidip until you can get the real deal done! haha

I'm going to have mine done professionally by Scott at Detriot Vintage Wheels, $600 for all 4 wheels + I pay all shipping cost. They will come back better than NEW. I should send 1 off this week just to get to see what it will look like.

 

I'm really glad you posted this project, "Ya DUN GOOD!"

Lol thanks, i also needed an example to take to a rim shop here so they dont mess up. This is a spare pie i have, thats why the lip is in bad shape.

Looks great.

i was thinking "blah" until the last pic. now i'm kind of curious to see how long it would last on the road.

[Twenty]

With the black inserts - yes. That looks great.

I would need to buy some more cans of the stuff, that was about half a can and 5 coats. Its my spare i had no real intensions of running that one on the road.

The one with the black accents really looks good.

The blue part is blue painters tape not pastidip.

I guess I may be the only one who isn't down with the black insets. Don't even like it on the pace car, and I even tried it on my cutlass

[2001goldGTP]

I had other wheels on my cutlass, i hated it, i have lived with the pies since 1990 and nothing else looked right see below.....

I hear ya, it's mostly the black aspect of it that doesn't do it for me. But of course it's not my car

[2001goldGTP]

Yeah, there are a lot ofblack accents on the car so i figure i would give it a shot. There are a lot of red accents too, but i am not painting them red lol. Red wheels dont do it for me.

I like those Mustang? Wheels. The pie wheels are much better.

[2001goldGTP]

Those are center line storms off my gtp, i was having a tire emergncy and the gtp has a busted trans and $1300 sport piolets on them so i did what i had to for a couple weeks lol.

[intern8tion9l]

Now those look real good on the GTP

[White93z34]

I think I was looking into those Centerlines for my z34 awhile back, that GTP wears those so nice.

[2001goldGTP]

Thanks, they are really strong wheels, i was driving in the rain when i first got them, hit a pothole i didnt see due to the rain at speed. The car started making a griding noise. The wheel bearing got messed up from the impact the wheels and tire were/are still perfect.

So reflective concepts came through and helped me out so i wont lose the "oldsmobile" on the pies when they get powder coated. Had them done in reflective black, and gave RC the best measurements i could.

That will look good.
