I always Remove the wheels for Painting or Dipping, because that way you can get all the spokes and the complete area of the wheel without moving the car. Also so you don't Spray the lugnuts or the Center cap, and so you don't have to worry about over spray on the Suspension, inner fender and the fender, but whatever works best for you. As Always Great Work Fonzie. Thanks for the Great Tutorial.
For wheel face dipping leaving the wheels on is the easiest and safest(not everyone can remove wheels and torque them back down correctly or feel comfortable doing so) way to get it done. Spraying barrels yes, you have to remove the wheels. As far as dip overspray you don't really get any overspray on the suspension when using aerosol cans along with the brake masking bags and even if you had a small amount of overspray it wipes right off . With paint that's a different story. With dip aerosols you have control of where the product goes. Even if you overspray on the fender or fender liner the dip wipes right off with a microfiber towel. If there's any worry shove some paper in the wheel well and a piece of tape on the edge of the fender.
I'm scared... I'm a teacher, female, and know nothing about cars. Just bought a 2-door Big Bend Bronco and want the black tire look. I will definitely have this video on play/pause/play the entire time. Gonna buy the kit tomorrow. Please pray for me that I don't ruin this new truck!
I just received my Kit and this video it was just what I needed before starting spraying. I would be great if you guys add a bar code or a link in your instruction cards included with the Kit . Thank you ! Amazing product by the way
Maybe I missed it but are you supposed to wait in between coats? If so how long do you wait in between the four tack coats? How long are you supposed to wait between the wet coats?
Tack coats flash quickly, 4-5 mins between each. Then for wet coats it depends on your ambient temps, but usually 15-25 mins on average. The colder it is, the longer the coats take to dry.
Great video! Just Hyperdipped my 2019 Silverado OEM 18" wheels yesterday with Brass Monkey. Came out great, two small imperfections but only I'll notice. I feel that maybe a 6th can would have been perfect. I removed the wheels to make it easier for me plus it allowed me to add dip release inside the rim since I didn't want overspray there. After applying dip release to my all terrain tires, there was still plenty of dip release to coat the inside of the wheels. I couldn't find anywhere on the website about time between coats, but at about 5 min of spraying per rim it worked out to about 20-25 min between coats. Spray handle is a must hahaha!!
Be careful adding Dip Release to the wheel itself you can have an edge start lifting due to this. Dip Release is meant for tires. If you want the barrels to not be sprayed you will want to either mask them off or use some naphtha and a microfiber towel after the wheels are dipped to remove any overspray.
I would recommend taking the lug nuts off first. I got my tires rotated on my dipped rims and they destroyed the dip all around the lug nuts. Next time I’ll be taking them off before spraying and replacing them with black lug nuts to match.
If you speed up the playback, your delivery on the wheel spokes looks like you're scrubbing with the can. A great way to deliver the paint to all surfaces.
when you apply the dip-release do you need to make sureto get it right next to the wheel? - and then use the pre-dip cleaner to remove it from the wheel edge? isn't it nearly impossible to get that line perfect? so which is more important, having the dip-release REMAIN RIGHT next to the wheel? or making sure the wheel is 100% clear of dip-release?
I really like that shadow black. I just sprayed over my 2 year old hyperdip wheels and it looks just as good as the first time! I really really like the results 😊 it's a great product ❤ they look like new again. I have a question. Will this stay on my plastic black trim? I have succeeded to blackout my chrome on another vehicle. I had some nicks and touched it up. The amazing thing is it isn't like other paint. My touch ups aren't obvious. 😊
Any tips on a bare wheel? No tires or any primer on the wheel. Getting mine media blasted to start from scratch and want to play around with different colors.
@@sweetdees86 Would suggest getting the tires on the wheels first before you spray them (unless you just want to test first). Bare wheel should be just fine, but keep in mind it may be tougher to peel the dip off as the bare wheel will likely grab a bit more.
I’m a long time follower, but uh… Can we talk about this guy’s nutrition and arm routine? Probably deserves a whole new channel, but from the moment he covered a mustang, I could have used some advice.
Instead of using the predip on your sidewalls could we also use painters tape? I feel like that would be a lot cleaner at the end and way less hassle after
2 steps not mentioned!!! Masking off the rest of the surface area around the wheel well and putting the cans in warm water to prep the paint. If you don't warm up the cans, the paint becomes too cool from releasing pressure causing splatter affects. I plastic dipped my rims and keeping the cans warm helped out, because I noticed how the paint wants to kinds spit out when the can becomes cool.
2 steps not mentioned because they are not necessary. You don't need to mask the surface area around the wheel unless for some reason your overspray reaches outside of the tire (shouldn't ever happen unless you're spraying in wind.) HyperDip does not need to be warmed in water, that only applies to the old Plasti Dip product. HyperDip is much lower viscosity and flows out just fine in ambient temps.
Bro can u please help me before I make a mistake .. if I use the same product as yours so when the wheels get dirty can I use purple power chemical to clean .. am. It sure if this chemical effect the hyper dip .. can u please let me know .. thank you for your time
Im re-dipping already dipped wheels,im using your product,the same as before…is there any difference in the step by step process for a fresh wheel and a already dipped wheel?
Save your money and get your wheels powder coated. I picked up piano black and spent most of a saturday afternoon to blackout my wheels. Finished look was pretty great honestly, especially at a distance. Was going to buy the grill/trim kit but after only 3 months, a large area of the dip has lifted off on one of the wheels, and the lugnuts on another wheel have had the dip come off. "Customer Service" has not replied to 3 communications over the course of a week and change. Not great.
I'm at 5 coats, and 4 tack coats on 2 wheels with one can.......it looks good. But I'm lost. Do I do a 2nd can for the two wheels and keep building layers. Or tap out and put the wheels back on the car?
Thank you for this. Would you please do a window trim video. Showing the tips and tricks on how to properly mask, spray and when to remove the tape and drape etc. I tried it and it was a disaster. Thanks.
Window trim tutorials are more difficult as every vehicle may have completely different window trim, seals, etc. It's hard to make a tutorial on that subject that is helpful and relevant to all users.
Set of four 18 inch wheels and I was only able to get 4 tack coats and 3 wet coats out of the wheel kit. I mean it looks great but idk how you got that many coats with just 5 cans. I only have 5 spokes on my rims so not nearly as many as you had in this video I just don’t get how you got that many coats.
I'd like to see Fonzy do a two tone wheel, leaving the factory color on the lip and barrel, and a hyperdip color on the spokes for a custom look! C'mon Fonzy, show is a two tone! 🙏
What is the workaround for getting the dip on your lug nuts it changes the diameter and makes it difficult to take them off if you have to service the tire or say the brakes.
Another tip I like to use is to jack up the wheel you're spraying so you can spin it while spraying. Makes it easier
Or... take the wheel off🤔🫢
I like to jack off between coats

that is what I was curious about - how do you prevent the overspray on your car? i'm thinking of doing this, but would want to remove the wheels first
@@tlsmith1970 You can mask everything off, but it's a lot more work instead of just removing the wheels.

Do it. I was skeptical. 6 months. 5 coats. Still look great. NC.
Do you go thru automatic car washes? I’m curious as to how it’ll hold up.
how does it look now?
I've had mine on a truck for 2/3 years. Off roading, snowy roads, car washes, etc - still holds
@@warlockedown9159 Thanks. Does it still look freshly applied, or is it showing signs of wear?

Such excellent information, results, and videos in general, respect and blessings from an old Kiwi 😎🇳🇿😎🙏
This video is an important one. It shows what you must do before you start painting. I've always been curious about the prep work that goes into this.
Made it look easier than I expected! I will definitely do this now. Thanks again.
I can tell you an easier way take the freaking wheel off of the vehicle
I’d like to see more rim videos. Try all kinds of different colors and all that.
I've been commenting this for a while! Also see if he can do some interior accents to match the wheels or car color!
@@markm5119 that’s a great idea

@@dipyourcar Is it okay if we waited longer in between coats? Like if we do one wheel then go to the next for all 4 then go back to the first one?
I am hopeless with spray cans and probably brushes that's why I found this so interesting, perfect.

I want to do the 18in factory wheels on 2024 Sierra AT4. I don’t understand why GM didn’t go with black wheels instead.
My kit comes tomorrow, perfect!
How did they turn out?
Yeah, how did it ?
@@oseifraser5407 I did mine bro. Best decision ever. I ended up doing my rims, all the emblems and the roof on my car with 1 kit
This is such a thorough explanation. You've convinced me to do it! Thank you!
If you dip wheels including lug nuts, will it come off during tire rotations or any sort of lug nut removal?
It causes ware on them yes, I did 8 coats and it lasted 6 years. Had 4 sets of tires and by then I had to repaint the lugnuts.
@@Invertmini1212 How did it last 6 years if Hyperdip just came out lol?
@@fwhipplee plastidip
Do you recommend leaving the lug nuts on? Doesn’t the dip come off them once you rotate or change the tires?
I'm curious about this as well

Will ti work over chrome?
What about the valve stem. Do you put the release spray on that or do you just try and avoid spraying it?
You can mask it, leave it or peel it - personal preference
Enjoyed it, living right now in Germany and can't buy it yet, have to wait for summer 2024 :D
11:06 can hyperdip be used to correct curb rash on the wheels?
Color looks great but I am interested in the orange colored car in the bays behind BME at loading docks.

Just bought my first kit. How much time should pass between tack coats and wet coats?

Yes! Later this year
doesnt the paint stick in the bolts? making hard to take the wheel out if necessary?
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
I would really like to see a removal video where you take the dip off a car you have sprayed. That would be really interesting.
Yes p
PLEASE
There's a few out there
Just play they video backwards
Could you please explain a bit more why to not lay the wheel flat?
The pickup tube in the aerosol can can catch an air bubble and cause the cans to spit. Keep the can upright to avoid this.
Excellent work panzi👌
Great video!!!can I do this in my new sienna..it has plastic hubcaps that are factory glued on?
i had some issues with dust of spray on the car cause it wasn´t covered. Maybe you can put a car cover over the car and open the wheels only.
great video. just finished my emblem kit. Question: what is the procedure for doing all 4 wheels at the same time?
Instead of using the predip on your sidewalls could we also use painters tape? I feel like that would be a lot cleaner at the end and way less hassle after

Another question, why is it not recommended not to remove the tires and lay them flat while coating?
3/5 but white base looking good 👍

Peeling is always the cleaner option when possible.
