Plasti Dipped my wheels

[healthservices]

Thinking of doing one of the boxsters (the whole car!) I have since it has so many rock chips in the paint.

I like the look, and that it's easily reversible. Another forum member did this recently too.

I think it would look good if you taped off your crests and applied the coating to your center caps.

There are some amazing "$50" plasti dip paint jobs on YouTube. Obviously beater cars but still great for someone that hasn't a ton of funds.

The Plasti Dip also comes in some of those colors you often see on GT3 Porsche wheel colors like powder blue, red, etc.
Personally I think vinyl wrapping is a more durable wheel color option that is reversible and relatively inexpensive.

vinyl wrapping can be expensive $1200 to $2000 up to do a car. I also heard that the plastic dip can do a number on the clear coat on the paint.

I'm going to attempt a vinly wrap once some bodywork on my car is completed.
I think if you have someone helping, you can do most of the panels and have a professional do the doors/door handles.
The cost of materials is not huge. I have a hard time justifying $200 an hour for a car with pretty simple body work and no top to do.
It's not like painting a car. If you screw up just tear a new sheet and start over.

I may vinly wrap my new wheels (997 Turbo look) before I do the car.

If my hood does not come out the way I want it I may plastic dip or carbon wrap it.

I have like a million rock chips in the bumper and hood.

After two weeks of filling and sanding I still have dozens of chips visible.
