Anyone attempt to plasti dip the machine silver part of the stock premium wheels yet? If so did the dip adhere ok and did the color matchup with the rest of the black on the wheel?

Did just the front of mine about a year ago and it hasn't flaked at all, so you're good. Proceed with the dipping

Not meaning to hijack the thread, but just curious where you got your ford badges from.

No reason to be an ass. Besides, his question did address plastidipping only the silver portion of the wheels, which is actually a unique question. Not that it's all that different, but whatever.

The correct answer would be to tell him to not mess around with the crappy, temporary plasti dip and man up and paint them. Or even better, go get them powder coated.

Mine are painted, btw:

I wasn't necessarily trying to be an ass. It's just, do people never search? like, for real, this topic is covered atleast once a week..

Although I fully agree. Paint, or powdercoat, is ideally the way to go... Dip is for chumps.. #plastidipisnotamod

Here are mine! I popped the Ford parts out before spraying. Liked the blue on black look

I like that Will_Rice I've got the same color ST and want to go black with those and the Titanium wheels I have for winter. Thanks for the motivation!

Dip is a cheap fix to get rid of the ungodly chrome. I guess that makes me a chump right. If the future if you don't like something that someone decides to do to their own car then just try to keep calm and carry on. This forum is full of opinions, some that matter and some that don't. I shouldn't have to tell you which category yours falls under.

They were custom, had a local guy do them.

Plasti Dip isn't any cheaper than paint, but it is the lazy and/or indecisive man's way of doing things. I'm glad to see that you aren't delusional enough to claim that it looks good, just that it's cheap.

First of all it was a cheap fix not a lazy or indecisive fix. Second it looks better than it did with the chrome, and I think it looks good. I could say that putting yellow lipstick on a MM st with red calipers and bronze wheels was an all around horrible combination but I won't because it's your car and you're free to do whatever you want with it. Thanks for your .02 though.

I really hated the new premium wheels. Until I saw yours ...

Plasti-Dip has its merits. Cheap, yes. Looks good? Meh, depends on how much effort you put into it (glossifier/metal flake). Its real merit is being able to try colors for a while and it not being permanent if you don't like it. You can try many combinations until you find the one you like, then yes, I would absolutely powdercoat/paint.

I did these, pulled it off the next spring because I missed my sparkle silver. See ... it has its uses.

They would've looked better on MM than TB for sure. They ended up with a bit more blue than I would've liked, though once the dust started they turned the appropriate brownish black color ha!
