Default Dipping factory wheels?

Hello


Anyone have firsthand experience dipping the factory wheels? Pictures would be a huge plus

A guy in our 4x4 club does a great job, I just want to see a JK with the dipped wheels on, two door and/or red would be exceptionally great!

Are you referring to plasti dip? There's a decent crowd on here that has dipped wheels. I did mine, they're not red, but they're dipped

I dipped my stock rubis and it made a world of difference.
I'd post a pic but they are rock rashed like crazy now...

I like plastidip, but IMO just not for wheels, atleast not if you take it off road. Paint is much easier to touch up

Blitz black paint from John Deere. Best stuff ever. My wheels look like they are factory painted flat black. It's also very durable.
