Sorry i actually should have said plasti dip instead of paint. I used the matt black plasti dip from home depot. I didnt take the wheels off the vehicle,instead covered the disc and callipers and any area that i thought might get in contact while spraying. This is the first time i ever used a plasti dip. I am satisfied with it. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking of wrapping it with carbon fibre film. I did the same for other plastic on the dash board. jkeaton and dhh3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzarkTroutBum Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 How many cans of Plasti Dip on the rims and I'm assuming you used rattle cans? dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching a video on steps and they had 4 showing and then cans of a graphite finish coat. The local Autozone has the Plastidip on the shelf but none of the graphite. My DJ is white and I was thinking maybe do the rims, grill crosshair and mirrors as an inexpensive and reversible custom project. Not really a big fan of the crosshair grill in general so black it out seems like a win to me for a different look. dhh3 and mavericks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_T Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Looks good, what kind of paint did you use? Also, how did you prep the rims before paint? (Info will help others looking to do the same) Cheers, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VGP3331 Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Love this! I just got my Journey last March, and the black paint looks odd with the stock graphite rims. I'm going to plan to do this plastic dip stuff fasho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
