We suggest a minimum of 10 coats, not only for durability, but to make sure it peels off in large pieces when you are ready. DYC always suggests a minimum of 6 coats. This will eliminate and grease, oil, dirt, debris or wax that may hinder the coating's ability to bond.
The age of the car, the condition of the clear coat, if you have already done a DIY paint job on the surface, etc. However, every car and every situation is unique. Especially consider longer test phases with cars that have been re-painted. It's extremely rare to hear of any damage to a vehicle after ProLine has been properly applied or removed. However, one thing we see from time to time is certain OEM colors - specifically whites and silver - susceptible to pigment transfer.

Can I just take the wheel off and plasti dip with little to no prep? Joined May 19, Messages You don't even need to take the wheels off your car, check out dipyourcar. The only prep you need to do is give them a thorough cleaning, and I think there might be a product meant for prepping before plastidip but I doubt it's really a requirement. All that does is prolong the life of the dip.
Thanks, checked out the videos. Rag or sand paper. Be sure to rub every inch of your rims to clean off dirt and brake dust. Even take some time to clean the tires towards the rims as this will help the excess peel off easier.
It is important to ensure that your brakes remain unaffected by the plastidip. Although plastidip comes off, it may be difficult to clean the brakes as they are inside the rim. Be sure your cover does not protrude past the rim as this will prevent the spray from reaching every area on the rim. As you can see, the base layer should look smokey. When spraying keep your nosel about 4 inches away from the rim, and always test spray on paper to ensure the nosel isn't partially blocked, do this later in between layers.
Be sure to spray around the edge of the rim and even a little on the tire, as this makes peeling excess off a lot easier. Use side-to-side motions while only spraying while moving, this prevents thick spots. Make sure you spray from all angles and not just from above.
After you have repeated step 4 on all 4 rims wait 10 min and proceed to this step. Go over your first layer with the same motion, be sure to get the edge of the rim, spray some on the tire itself, and this time try and get those crevices in the rim keep nosel at least 4 in.
After your 2nd layer things should look darker. Repeat this step until you have layers and allow 10 minutes of drying time in between layers. As I said you need patience. Letting the plastidip sit will help it form a stronger bond and come off easier when you go to peel the excess. If you are looking to buy new wheels soon, Plastidip may be an option. Plasti Dip is a popular automotive spray paint.
If your car is coated with Plasti Dip, you can clean it by hand and wash it with soap and water. You can also use a pressure washer up to psi or even run the car in the sink. Lift the edges of the Plasti Dip to detach it into a large sheet.
If the dip is too thin to come off, it should be cleaned with WD40 or a dip remover. The thinner can also be used to soften and scrape Plasti Dip. I painted my wheels with this kit and my car was shipped a few hours later.
All reports make removal more difficult, but it is not impossible to use a clearcoat on PlastiDip. In further research, almost everyone who has used a clearcoat on PlastiDip and actually states what kind of clearcoat is indicated has used enamel. Then you can start spraying the wheel and coloring the first layer. Make sure the paint has dried between coats.
