QSM LGT factory rims plastidipped

**chimera** · #1: 05-19-2013, 05:45 AM

Has anyone got a QSM 4th gen LGT with the *factory* rims plastidipped black? I wanna do for mine but wanna see a pic first. If you have any other colour please share too, open for ideas. Seen plenty of black after market mags but no pics of the factory mags black yet... went through the first 60 pages of the QSM pics already then gave up. Cheers

Mine have been black on my grp since last summer lasted through the winter well and I was too lazy to clean them correctly. I have no doubt if I would have taken the time to do it correctly they would still be perfect. Will be redoing next week. The edges have began to peel slightly.

Fantastic thank you. I've ordered the plastidip cans yesterday went black too will be doing this weekend although will spray them while still on the car. Probably do the bonnet as well.

If anyone has a quartz silver metallic with the same would appreciate a photo, otherwise I guess I'll find out next week

do at least 4 layers and let them dry in between

Yup and first cost is 75% transparency and second around 50 and the other two are proper coats. Clean the surface well too or they will start to peel after a bit of driving

yea true story on the cleaning. I did my freinds wheels and we claybarred them first and then used a fine sand paper to go over the wheels (newspaper is perfect for this)

Gold looks absolutely awesome with black! Nice work!

Thanks for the tips guys, I'll probably wipe the alloys down with brake cleaner or similar first. That'll clean 'em up real good.

Not quite black. Dark gray against Brilliant Silver Metallic

The plastic bag on the brakes works great. 2 rattle cans will do 6-7 coats easy.
