plati dip question
 
I'm about to beeline my rims but I was gonna plasti dip them a few different ways to see what I like better. My question is how easy and what measures do y'all take to remove it

Do light coats but do a few coats and it will peal right off the more coats easer to pull off to thin and it with still peal off but will rip

Thanks man. I love the black but I'm gonna leave some silver so I wanna play around on where all I leave it so I figured plasti dip would be perfect. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't getting into a lot of stripping

Easy on, easy off!

Dont Bedline...If you want you can paint them, but bedlining adds a TON of weight. This will make the wheel harder to balance AND require more torque to turn them causing loss of power and fuel ecconomy

This is mine plasti-dip'd

The day I did it.

After driving in the sand(it held up pretty well) but needs just a touchup around the lip

Honestly how much weigh could it add? I'm not doubting the balance part but I've read on here from the guys that have been doing it and it doesn't seem that they are having a big issue. I just don't wanna pay somebody to powder coat my rims when I can by a cheap set for a lil more with the correct backspacing and I also don't wanna have to keep touching up the rims like what has to be done with plasti dip. Oh and when I say bedline, I will be using raptor liner.
