So after obtaining the plastidip and being my first time spraying anything, I thought I would do my wheels. The waiting period between coats is 30mins and five coats were applied.

Steps are below:

1. Clean wheels.

2. Wash and let them dry.

Day and night difference after cleaning my wheels:

Left is my spare wheel and on the right is the wheel that has been cleaned.

3. All prepped up and ready to be sprayed.

Image

4. Apply two dust coats.

Image

5. Coat three to five should be more intense so give it a thick coat.

Image

6. End result.
