I did gold

I guess I wasn't the only one who got some plastidip this week. I used three cans of vintage gold and one can of glossifier. I lost track of how many coats of gold but I know I did one wet coat of gloss. Only complaint is the texture. I hate the rubber feel but thats what plasti dip is. I am considering giving it an actual coating of clear coat just to have the smooth feel. I know that if i didn't say it was plastitidp then people would asume it was powder coat because it looks very good.

I will also post better pictures when I get the chance.

Where did you buy the gold Plasti Dip?
How many cans did you use for all 4 wheels?

Its called vintage gold and its part of the true metallics line that came out about a week ago.
True Metallic Plasti Dip - Aluminum, Anthracite & Vintage Gold - YouTube Thats the link for the youtube video of fonz.

Like i said I personally used only three cans of the vintage gold, and one can of glossifier. But you get better results with one can per wheel.

Look at the video its useful.

Edit they already made a bundle pack here is the link https://www.dipyourcar.com/product.php?productid=85&cat=39&page=1
