Hello!

I have plasti dipped my wheels this weekend. All the wheels were like this :

And this:

Steps:

1. Sand down all damages (used sand paper 60 ), then clean wheel and wipe with nail polish remover.
2. Fill it with P38 filler
3. Sand down filler to be as equal as possible (used sand paper 220 and 400)
4. Very precise cleaning
5. Wipe wheels with nail polish remover
6. Paint wheels with Plasti Dip. ( I did 4 coats, with 15 mins breaks between coats)
7. Put Plasti Dip glossifier (2 coats per wheel)

I have used 2,5 cans of black plasti dip (I bought 4) and about 0,75 can of glossifier.

Rear tyre is dirty by filler, gonna clean it today.

I will put photos of wheels from a close distance later or tommorow.
 
Love the technique with the playing cards. Probably cheaper and easier to apply than a roll of masking tape and you keep the paint within the area you want it
 
Good job looks great. One question though have you checked tyre pressures on the front? Looks quite low from the picture
