- Some people may have different ways to plasti dip their rims, good for them. Just showing you guys how I plasti dip my rims, and how I get the results I get. You can see all of my work on my instagram - / throwsomediponit .
Thank you for watching!
Hey everyone! I just dropped a NEW, FULL step-by-step tutorial on dipping rims. Check it out here: th-cam.com/video/bKSxjSEpYec/w-d-xo.html

Great for flat colors, but gloss does not last..
This shit ugly af 😂
Yo how many cans does it take for 4 wheels?
The right way would be to take the rim off first
About getting the spray on the tyres: It's not destroying the tyres. If it annoys you, peel it off easily and after time it will stick itself out so you can peel it also easily. Had it for like some months on them and the tyres didn't had any damages or something like that. Just make sure there is no connection between tyres and rims .
Tires*
@@cyprexx1946It is tyre in GB
@@cyprexx1946 different for people in the EU
As somebody who has had plastidip for about 4 years and redone it about 3 times i wil give you all a tip. Do way more coats than this guy. I usually do about 7 and one coat of the glossifier. I pressure wash my car and the added layers really really help. Also you may want to mask off the wheels and the lugnuts as the first time i got my tires replaced (with 7 coats on) the dealership guys broke 3 keys for my lugnuts. (I had to buy the next two)
How many cans do you go through for all 4 rims doing that many coats?
@@shimetobago9586 i think it usually takes about 4. When i wrote that comment i was getting them for about $7 a can from walmart
@@shimetobago9586 the first couple of coats are done very thinly thats why it doesnt use so much
dude its crazy how u literally taught me how to plasti dip my wheels by just writing this comment and this phony posted a whole video and i was super confused on why he left his wheels on and why he was spraying it like shit🤣 thanks man i really appreciate🫡
@@ForeignRuntzzz glad to be of service. Im still rocking the plastidip and only redone 3/4 wheels from that original comment. It holds if u do it right.
My man does not care about the bmw logo he just went straight in
Thee Elinaire07bat 😂😂
😂😂😂😂I said the same but I think he can pull it off
haha yeah i was wondering why he didnt mask it hahaha
It's because this is not a BMW it's an Infinity so why let a BMW logo ?
Looks better black tbh
Thought I was about to cry when he sprayed the centre caps.
Great thing about dip is it peels off of everything you don't want it on :)
snorman1911 yea but is sure as hell don’t peel off fabric so be careful if you are painting near fabric fml
@@unforgotten9203 Hah! I will keep that in mind!
snorman1911 np man! It peels off fabric but it stains
Firts take the rim of 2 clean it really good best if you use brake cleaner every time you go over it get clean rags or paper towels Don't use the same one 3 cover the logos 4 cover the tire no matter if is black spray paint and the most important of all is if you take the rim off it gives you a better view to spray evenly if its on wen you move your car the rim walls facing down are not going to be painted right
"The right way", shouldve taken the wheels off the car but ok.
Rafael Jaime what if you dont fee like doing that...
Nelliee Bee then you’re doing it wrong. What’s hard to understand here.
Is there really a big difference in taking the wheels off...honestly if you take your time and mask properly?
SeVyN yes
Chris Golden the reason most people keep there’s on when using a spray can is because they’d have to prop up the wheel anyway so they can shoot straight and not pointed down
Legend says he’s still spraying to this day..
I had to revise my comment because I do realize sadly some cars don’t come with jacks and wrenches but.. word of advice, always cover the surrounding area (fender, bumper, etc.). Even plasti dip becomes extremely hard to remove when it’s not a thick layer. Plasti dio overspray is as hard to remove as tar spray.
Good gone is great for removing it
After seeing how freaking good it looked I take back the taking tire off car. You do you man.
🤟🏽
A picture of the final product would've been nice.
LiftOrGTFO instagram.com/throwsomediponit for all end results
You think?? 🤦🏻♂️
Not every one has the tools to lift it and do that! Then you’d have to get them balanced once you take them off so this is for the average person dude!
Chris M. You don’t need to rebalance the fucking wheel oml. You only rebalance it when you get the tire re-beaded
@@chrism.2042 He didn't lift the tire at all
"place rags to avoid overspray on driveway"
sprays everything else
For all the people saying tape the tire off, my buddy just did his SI rims instead of taping off he got a pack of index cards pinch them inbetween rim & wheel works just as well
No need just peel it off the tire when finished.
snorman1911 nah that takes too long i did the same shit it was annoying
I did the same thing. I used card stock instead though. Thicker than printer paper but more malleable than the index cards
you coat the tire first with dip-release, for a PROPER how to, watch Fonzi

How to plasti dip your brakes, center caps, lock nuts, and tyres..
Probably got overspray all over the wings also
Probably got over spray everywhere
Matty Viper major facepalm lmao
@@paintedwolf8394 but why go through all that?
Yeah he didn’t mask anything😂 I mean I guess he wanted everything like that but damn
Can you go through the automatic car wash with plasti dip on or will it mess it up
I would've covered the center caps and the tires and stuffed more plastic inside of the wheel for extra protection. And showing the end result would help. My only question is should each wheel take one whole can?
Yea man cover the center caps i agree
How are you gonna write “THE RIGHT WAY” in all caps like you know what you’re doing and then not tape off your tires or emblem in the same video 🙄
Lmao I was thinking the same shit
Lml
Because plastidip is pretty simple to remove from rims, kinda like tape
Kayserili38ification cause you don’t want that shit on your rubber. I didn’t tape it off when I dipped my rims the first time and I had oversprayed dip on my wheels that just did NOT want to come off completely no matter how much I cleaned them. It gets worse as it mixes with road grime and brake dust. It’s just a mess you don’t want to risk. When I sprayed tire shine on my tires, they didn’t pop as much, or at all if there’s too much overspray.
Mamamia plasti dip peels off easily dumbass
Did you use matte black plasti dip then applied the glossifier after or did you buy the glossy black plasti dip to begin with?
"How to plasti dip your rims the right way"
Proceeds to leave the wheels on the car while plasti dipping.
Thank you taking your time to show us your method and techniques. I was wondering why you put the spray can bottles in a bucket of water. Is that warm water? Does this help with the plastic consistency? I have never done coating, and I am new, but want to explore this option. Thanks again.
He writes on the video that it expands the molecules which helps with an even spray and even mils all around
You can get the same effect from constantly shaking the cab throughout the process
It's for every spray can. Warm it up.
Just done my wheels and your video was very helpful. Thanks!
You literally spray painted over the BMW sign? You know how sick those rims would’ve looked if you left the logo?
He teared off the dip afterwards
GOD/GUNS/FREEDOM makes sense. The logo is cool.
GOD/GUNS/FREEDOM why?
Well his tires look new again. And the back of the rim are probably also a great look. Finished the cars look. What shame
You cover everything, then peal off the parts you don’t want when it’s dry..
I thought for a moment I was watching a "rose panther" episode. The background music and the dummy things shown including the title "the right way". Thanks for the laughs.
Great video 👍🏻
How many cans does it take per wheel ?
How long does this last for? Like does it fade away or scratch off or wipe off from rain etc??
"The result was shit, so I'll just say it was too dark for filming! No one will find it weird that I didn't continue filming the day after!"
@Booby Belly No, "nigga" I'm not. Even after three years I'll say with confidence it's a bad video
Shouldn't you take the wheels off the car?
probably the hardest rims I've seen to paint/clean. Lol looks nice!!
vince m thanks man
I got a 1990 Volvo 760 and the rims are a pain to clean when we had them white. It has like 30 small spokes and brake dust made it look horrible, we took it off and we're switching to black so it looks mean instead of classy
Wait till he rolls them and realized he did not get the bottom lip or the insides of the bottom 😂 take the wheels offffdf
You lost me leaving the wheel on the car 😂
An incomplete job with terrible soundtrack. 'The right way' lol
I see a lot of you guys complaining about how he sprayed the center cap and tires but are forgetting this stuff is removable lol and he even says it at the end
The right way is you should mask the rim emblem perfectly round with painters tape then peel it off when dry, that's how I did mine and it looks better showing the emblem. 2nd you should mask the tire so there's no paint residue on the tire they will flake off when dried and it looks ugly. 3rd you should also cover your car paint next to your tire, the over spray paint will stick to the paint since your car is white, over spray is more obvious, the over spray paint will come off but it's more work taking them out and sometimes from scrubbing too much it'll leave a scratch on the paint.
It’s plasti dip brotha, not paint
@@joey8083 same, I use the plasti dip and other and I use the same technique as I mentioned. The quality is better.
@@waynet8327 ah I gotcha
do they have plasti dip but gloss or is that the whole point of "plasti dip"?
@@loketiveimau6172 Plasti dip itself comes out matte. But, plasti dip also has a gloss overcoat that you can spray on the plasti dip itself.
Yo I'm Vibing with that JAM. Also great job on the vid.
Not the best way to plasti dip rims... Best way is to take the wheel off the car... This is the lazy way... Sry no disrespect. Just saying the truth.
The point of plasti dip is to temporarily change the color of your wheels and overall protect the original rim from any further road damage. If you were permanently changing the color of the rims then yes, painting the inside of the rim would be necessary. But you get the exact same results doing it either way. And you can see on our Instagram page @throwsomediponit.
only u paint one side of the rim.i have motorbike so need to paint both side of the rim.
This is the dumbest explanation of laziness I've ever seen.
TheBalcerman Not everyone has the tools nor time to take off the wheels, just spray and go
Are you serious now? Tools to take wheel off? You can literally find them in the boot of your car. Time?! 3-5 minutes? Spraying takes like 75-90 minutes (intervals of 15 x no. of layers) Your argument is invalid. What we can see on the video is: "how to plasti-dip wheels the shitty way". You see. I do things right or will rather not even try to do shitty job if I can't do it right.
BMW drivers be like
" i BoUGhT NiCE cAr so NoW IAm meCHanIC"
Thank you tons. I’m about to do this myself today wish me luck lol.
Don't do it!!!
Can i see
Lmao lmk how that works out
Okay within two second im already laughing guy said the right way, then cant even take his tire off.
"The right way" my ass. This is the "It's half-assed but still looks nice" method. even if the back of the wheel doesn't show, the dip will last longer if you paint the whole wheel because just painting the front leaves a seam half way that can allow for brake dust, etc. to eventually get under the dip. Plus the overspray. Plus you're painting at strange angles to get the wole wheel and it's harder to see some spots. Plus you're spraying the lug nuts so good luck fitting the right socket on those.
Nice job, but I would of masked of the bmw center cap and that would have looked alot more better but they still look nice though
Did you mean to title this “the wrong way”... just for starters removing the center caps and wheels would be the right way
I would have thought the scuffs would have been sanded down in prep for spraying but looked ok to me , might give it a go myself.
It’s not that kind of paint smh, it’s plasti dip you don’t have to sand.
@@cooliodiablo4571 like sound of that even more
You don't have to go this intense on it, ive did all my wheels with two cans and it looks beautiful
How many coats did u do?
@@xinhengc one lol
Check me out on Instagram instagram.com/throwsomediponit.
Yea as long as you’ve got solid coverage you’re good. Plastidip isn’t like regular paint. It’s pretty thick stuff. One to two coats of it is like equivalent to spraying 5-6 coats of regular water based paint. Plastidip is a solvent based sprayable rubber. It’s not paint really at all.
@@cooliodiablo4571does it cover flaking on rims or the rims have to be sanded first before putting this dip on ?
Use rubbing alcohol to take the oils of the cleaner off. Take the rims off the car. Deflate tires if you can’t take them off. Remove center cover. Use real paint because spray on plasti dip will peel and crack remove wheel weights because dip will just bridge it leaving air to bubble. Just a few recommendations if we’re talking the right way
How long will it last?
1-2 business days after a car wash
What do you mean by 3-4 coat bro do you change colour or you use one paint the entire time?
The right way would be to take them off. That way you can do the inside and be able to move the wheel around to make sure you got all of it evenly.
Bro....where is the before and after at the end of the video? Lol
Looks tough as hell though
Check out my IG for before and afters instagram.com/throwsomediponit
The title should be “how to plastidip your wheels the WRONG way “
The best video i watched about plasti dipping... no talking about the obvious. Juts simply showing us how to do it. Thanks bro. keep safe always🙏✌
Thank you bro!
Omg this looks like an all day project but I'm gonna try it out. it looks so good!
Shaquiya Parker you got this!
Do you cover the lug nuts? Planing on doing it tomorrow
I over sprayed I think and it dripped/smudged fml🤦🏼♂️
Painted it too, very pleased!
It would look better if you took off the BMW logo before and then put it back after
Why? You can just peel the dip off the logo.
When you'll start peeling it off the logo - it won't stop at logo - it's a same layer over whole rim - it will peel the rest. It will look like crap with uneven borders.
You don't know what you're talking about. You should just stop before you make yourself look any more foolish.
@Drewe Carlson not if you know what you're doing
plastidip peels bro, u can just peal it off
Just put some tire shine on tires and peel off when finished. No tape paint won’t stick to tire shine.
Best video on TH-cam for this! Clear instructions, good example and no useless introductions and product placement like other videos
Hewkll thank you !
Name of the song?
Great video👊
"Plasti dip your rims the right way" ...oxymoron.
Getto way
No...... Just a Moron
And free speckle finish on the paint, Brilliant!
This is like The Verge's video on how to build a computer.
This needs more likes
Did you paint the barrel? And how come you didn't protect your tired
I did mine "the right way". I took them off the car. Plus my lug nuts are still chrome. Looks better that way i think.
Yo I have scratches on my 350z rims from the previous owner scraping on the curb. Do I need to sand that down or will the plasti dip cover it up?
Same problem. Did you do it?
I reported this video as “spam or misleading”
Why Didn’t You Took Out The Centre BMW Sign?
My boy plastidiped half the tires as well 😂😂
Ensures longer tire life
The tires are black anyway
He did that🔥
Lol, or just take them off the vehicle for a few minutes.
EDIT: Sorry, not trying to be a jerk, it's a good idea for those that don't have the tools to take a wheel off, but definitely not the right way.
For those curious on a more appropriate way, remove the wheel, clean thoroughly, mask off your tire with painters tape and paper if needed (yes i know it's platidip still do it.) spray light even coats, once the area is fully covered and dry take your tape off carefully, then put the wheel back on the car. Enjoy your long lasting plastidipped wheels!
Yo, how many cans for 4 wheels?
So it takes about a bottle for a rim
Bro serio!? Where’s your final results?? How we supposed to follow step by step instructions from you when we never see the final outcome? I’m not cappin I appreciate the video I’m just sayin tho, u coulda waited an extra day to post it and upload the finished wheel(s). At least that how I think, I’d never think to do a tutorial DIY, spend all this time on my project, & hold out on my outcome -_-
Great video bradda! Just did my rims and they came out great 🤙🏼
Dope bro! Check me out on Instagram instagram.com/throwsomediponit.
The right way would be removing the wheel and tire for my car
Hi Kool video mate..can you spray on scratched wheels?.
1. tires still on the car. 2. didnt protect the tire itself.
Angela Cassano dude I cringed to this entire video
Is it okay to take your car to a automatic car wash after this is done to the car? Will it damage the plasti dip at all?
I'm surprised u Covered the BMW sign good job tho
erik nelson thank u! yeah you can either cover them and peel it off at the end or pop them off, dip your rims, then pop them back in. after re dipping I suggest popping them out and popping back in for a much cleaner result.
1st coat is not supposed to cover the wheel entirely. The manufacturer says a light base coat to start then heavier after that.
This is exactly how NOT to paint rims lol. Overspray in the tires ,wheel wells and the car itself. Wow
eric muraca its plasti dip, you can peel it off...
eric muraca hahahahahahahahaha ALL STUPID!!!!
Good thing its not paint
Except it doesn’t come off as easy when there’s a million little black dots from overspray on your cars paint job. I’ve done it. Learned my lesson after the first wheel.
If done after reading instructions,its perfect.done motorcycles and rims,about 27 months on last bike before wanted a change..And as far as over spray Mircofiber cloths take it right off..you must not read...and prep is everything.
How many weeks it will last
What makes your way, the "right" way? You sprayed the lug nuts, and center caps...
quick , simple and straight to the point. nice video!
Did you make the video and is this your second account or something.. He didn't take off the wheels, didn't even bother to do the last steps because it gets dark. For a good video it should be finished at least lol.
@@GlobalDesignHDcalm down Jack… he done it his own way, you do it your long way
Hey,
Just a quick question. After you finish plastidipping your rims. I didn’t like the matte finish that much now that I’ve completed it. If I wanted to apply a new glossy black plastidip, do I have to remove the plastidips or do I just spray on top of them without removing them?
You can spray plasti dip glossifier on top and it will turn it to gloss.
How to make the video better ♤
1: Remove the wheel off the car
2: Should of masked off the body panels incase of over spray
3: Choose better music next time
So we don't over spray on the drive . But it's ok on the cars tyres and body
How long does the plasti dip usually last on rims?
1000000000 years
wheels not rims fk
So just clean them don't scuff them I want to cover them for the winter only have one set then take it off in spring does it come off?
Good shit bro gonna dip the rims on my 325 now
Can you add a clear coat paint on the top of pd layers? It would make it stronger. Will last longer I think.
I feel like I just watched a graffiti video. That can play and wrist movements
Great Video Man.
Straight yo the Point..
How is the Plastic Dip Paint
Holding up ??
Does is Pill Off Because of the
Heat andfrom Braking
and Stop and Go??
Please Advise..
you can peel it off
Check me out on Instagram instagram.com/throwsomediponit. Appreciate u bro! It lasts about 3-4 years!
when you peel it off from the tire, is it easy for it to start peeling off the rim since it would be connected with the dip? I'm considering doing this myself but I don't want to get into it and mess it up lol (in b4 "take the rimsoff the car")
kyle manson yes, just posted a vid on this yesterday
instagram.com/p/BUDTHINBq1p/
When i did mine i just took the wheel off took the valve stem out and let the air out then put a whole bag around the tire then i aired it back up so the back was sealed and i had no worries painting
overkill for plasti dip. that's what you would do for paint.
Lmao this is totally the wrong way, wmif you want your rims plasti dip the correct way the whole rim has to be painted hence the wheel comes off, unless you don't mind being a ricer😂
Why not just take the tire off?
How should the weather be like as far as how hot?
Christy Gomez 65 degrees or warmer with no wind. Just my suggestion
THROWSOMEDIPONIT plastic dipping as we speak going great thanks!
Christy Gomez I did mine in 40 degree weather lol came out ok. I have to redo 2 rims cuz I missed some spots. It was also nighttime and my flash light kept dying
Like 180 should be fine........hahhahahha
Wieś tuning w najczystszej postaci. Gratuluje, kolejny Sebix. Well done, haaaahahaaaaaa, uhahahaaaaaaaaa.
He said "The right way" 😂 bro the right way would be take off rim by rim 😭😭😭😭😭
This is good for someone who can’t take the wheels off due to my age and not having a job nor tools......teen....... this is very budget friendly solution for a temporary paint.
Bout to go plasti dip my maserati rims for the first time wish me luck
Shit went well forgot to update y'all
Kenny Bagnis update
Came out perfect, except for a spot i missed since i did it at night time....
How many cans did you use? I have 2, should I get 1 more? And how do I get the glossy look?
☆кυωαιтι - єαgℓє☆ i think you should get one more just incase , I only used like 60 percent of each of the four cans I have , I didn't go for the glossy look and went just for the matte look (: so I didn't apply anything else
For the 4 wheels how many spray did u use?
