Dipped my 18" BBS SR's black

Zyzzthetic · 10-28-2019, 10:33 PM

So I auto dipped my winter set up black and came out so aggressive. They are 18" BBS SR's and I got them used for $500 off an X3 in mint condition. Missing hub caps as I was cleaning them.

How does it look it?

definitely aggressive

Looks great! I might do this to my summer wheels for next year.

How does it look close up?

Is Auto Dip better than Plasti dip for wheels?

Its a glossy finish instead of matte.

This was like 2-3 coat before the final result

Good job! Seen a lot of poorly done "dip" work. Yours is neat and clean. No run off or overspray that I can see

The trick was to clean correctly with alcohol prior and also the product I used was autodip, its got a gloss finish as opposed to plastidip's matte finish. Doesn't hold dirt and brake dust as much.

I wonder how it will hold up mounting/remounting tires... Looks good otherwise.

Can you ceramic coat Dip? lol... Just curious...
