Rich Posted April 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Must be the post around your way as I also bought something else yesterday morning and it arrived today. I would've preferred bronze but black will have to do for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parthiban Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 You can't buy the metalliser over here Oh can you not? I'll have to drop this idea then, I wanted to do the black with silver on top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted April 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 You could get it from the US when you're over there? And me the gold one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Nice one Gord Anyone sprayed theirs yet? I did some wiper arms with hammerite at the weekend and left abit of orange peel so just wondering what technique should be used. I have one of the plastic clip on triggers as well to make it easier?

Rich Posted August 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Who has used theirs yet? I just haven't had the time and probably won't for a while. I think the missus will just have to suffer me cleaning and spraying the wheels indoors and do them one at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMARTLY Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Not me. Weather and multiple minor health problems have prevented me even thinking about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parthiban Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 My wheels have a little corrosion appearing on the sides of the spokes, would it work to just rub them down a bit and then coat them in this stuff or will the problem continue? They'll need a refurb soon anyway so might be a good time to have a mess about with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I would've thought it will be fine if you remove the corrosion first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMARTLY Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Well I'm thinking I don't want to do them matt black now. Having bought some steels and winter tyres I bought a cheap set of flat black wheel trims from ebay and I'm not sure I like the look. I'll post a pic. when I get chance to take one. Think it might be to do with the fact there is chrome elsewhere on the car. Anyway, alloys are now washed, heavily waxed and tyre dressed for storage. I've got a few months to decide.

liner33 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Ive bought some to do the plastic trim on my bumper , its quite rough and doesnt clean easily so a flat black will look better i think and will be easier to clean Same here though not had time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted November 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Don't think I'll be using the plasti dip on the rims I bought as I'm trying to sell them now, although keep being messed about by buyers! I might even sell the paint as I can't think of anything else I can do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 Bit of a thread bump but I found the 2 cans I bought 8 years a go in the loft!! Did anyone else use theirs! (although some don't use the forum now) The missus has a metal plant hanger that was covered in rust so I cleaned it up, used rust converter and then the plasti dip. It was really easy to use and feels rubbery to the touch. Weird stuff. I have issues with the sun reflecting on the steering cowling, causing reflections in the windscreen in the MX5. I'm going to buy a spare to try this on and see how it looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 I thought it's a layer on water the you dip it into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMARTLY Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 I bought 6 cans I think a few years back and already had one. I used the one can to spray my winter wheels for the Focus. The other 6 are sat there doing nothing That stuff you are thinking of Tony was to dip balloons and what ever else you wanted to in to get a multi-coloured pattern on it.

Glad I'm not the only one who does that! On the plus side it looks like they should still be ok based on mine. Have you not got anything metal that needs painting?
