It'll turn out as good as you can make it. Design, prep, masking, application, and masking removal.

I've been wanting to make my C5 wheels white to match the colors of my car(white as a secondary color)

I picked up 2 cans of the black plasti dip to screw around with, but everywhere I went I didn't see any white plastidip. 5 places had none at all, 1 only had one can of black and a few of clear, and then the last had 10 cans of black which my friend and I got our 4 total from.


Guess I'm gonna have to order some.

How is it going to hold up if it gets dirty and you need to wash/wax over it?

I'll probably make a different stripe design next week. I'm not a fan of painted interiors. Looks even cheaper than stock.

Just wash it gently and don't push hard on it when drying. If you're not a clutz, it will be fine. Also, you don't wax over it - especially the edges - just like VINYL.

Shoot an e-mail to the makers of Plasti-Dip and see if they have any distributors in Germany. Otherwise: http://www.conrad.de/ce/de/product/8...archDetail=005

^ Cans cost about $5 or $6 bucks. Get about 3, my 10spokes only took 2 cans. DesertLS1 took 2 cans to do his wheels, believe he has 19's. So 3 would be good, 1 extra to be on the safeside.
