Definitely not legal lol... Better off Just tinting your tail lights with NightShade... I gave It a go on the weekend and it came up alright

if i were to plastidip my wheels would the weight change the performance much or would it be so small that it becomes a non issue

[BUZZ_QWERTY]

I wouldn't think that it would make and dramatic issues in performance or handling... your just adding a little bit of unsprung weight

The weight is negligible, however if you do plastidip - I recommend spraying them in the daylight and do nice thick coats. Otherwise you'll have something like my wheels which are a pretty shitty job (coats thick, but uneven).

Becareful with overspraying a coat, this stuff does run when u put too much on but not as much as paint.
Personally I would not spray my wheels with this because it comes off too easily. I'd only do it to get a feel of how a colour change would suit.

8 months now. Of course, if you can powdercoat you should powdercoat. I only did it because of its reversibility (I just wanted to try the colour). For the first 2 months it was more or less awesome (nice matte black finish I'd been looking for). It doesn't come off as easy as some say.

I'd only use it as a temporary solution. I'm thinking of painting my wheels properly soon or atleast get new ones.

With all that said, I only have one problem with it which is that it loves to collect dirt and dust meaning you'll want to clean it regularly (I just use a pressure cleaner).

I sourced mine from Caswell Plating @ http://www.caswellplating.com.au/store/ ... on-coating and had it couriered up to Queensland.

@anyone in Brisbane, there is a company @ DownshiftAUS meets that sells it, I think its like $30-35 a can.

[yuj1n]

depends which part of Brisbane you're from. I live on the southside and there's a place called "JD lighting" at browns plains that sells for $30 a can with various colours.

Plasti Dip doesnt come off easily at all! Plenty of videos on youtube with people high pressure washing their cars and even taking their whole plasti dipped car through drive through washers!

Mine came off easy as, I just sliced and pulled and it came off easy!
