1st time using plasti dip

[Dark Knight]

So I decided to play around with plasti dip today. I did the rear emblem and the inner parts of my polished rims. They look sweet except the edges on the rims arent how i would like them Any suggestions for smooth edges?

I think you need to pull the tape sooner.

I put 4 coats on the rim

You have to use 'fine line ' masking tape... made just for that application. Can be found in any Auto body supply store..

those wheels look pretty good, nice job! My dad & I were thinking of painting our 2013 polished wheels like you did.

It's usually narrow and medium blue color. Reminds me of pinstriping

It's better to do light, fast coats of plasti-dip. Comes off easier as well. Colin, did you remove the plasti-dip off those wheels yet?

I think Tony nailed it. It looks more like the timing. A fine line tape isn't going to help the type of issue that I am seeing. Look up some you tube videos of masking with plasti dip. There a couple good ones out there.

Thanks guys! I looked at dipyourcar.com and youtube videos. Its not perfect but being my first time I think it looks good (especially from afar LOL)

Dark Knight, I practiced with my winter rims with overall plastidip and it turned out great. This winter I'll be doing what you did with your current rims. How does it look in person? This was the exact look I'm going for. Also which plastidip did you use? Matte or gloss?
