I had been wanting to try Plasti-Dip and have been meaning to paint my calipers. So i finally set aside some time.

I bought 2 cans of black plasti-dip
1 can of VHT Red Caliper paint
1 can of clear coat high temp enamel.


masked the appropriate things off for painting calipers and used note cards for the tires.

Sprayed a heavy initial coat on all the rims, and then went back with 2 lighter coats.

As for the calipers I did 2 layers of red and 2 layers of clear. Turned out very good and i have thought about buying some of the plast-dip clear to spray over the rims to get a little gloss back, but even with out it they turned out great.

I've attached a befor an after pic

I will take a couple more pictures when i get off work, I do need to touch up the center caps, but other than that it came out really well considering it only took about an hour and a half to paint.

it was really easy and quick. and honestly i think if i went over it one more time, and then once with a semi-gloss black when paint it would look amazing and from what ive read still be able to be removed easily but with the wheel paint provide durabilty

did you remove the tires in the process or just covered them?
i'm thinking of painting my 02 Red Ws6 rims black i can't decide whether gloss or mat though
