thanks man, I tested it out on my trash can first, layed down a few coats, then lathered on some tire shine and it looked nice, so I did it to the 6 lol

I guess it makes sense that tire shine would work, after all plasti dip is just rubber!
But good idea!
Props for that!

Welcome to last year. :P Lol in all seriousness though, if you switch brands of tire shine make sure you test again. Some tire shines will make the plastidip bubble up for a day or so and it peels off verrrrryyyyy easily when that happens.

@6YMazda. when the rims are plasti dipped. Does it mess them up going thru a car wash?

Platsi dip says not to wash the car for a couple days after applying. I have some on the lower rear of the car and it has been through a car wash a couple times with no issues. Not sure if the Wheel Cleaner in a carwash would hurt it or not?

well you can just use spray paint and clear on plasti dip I did that to my rims. That way I could use bronze has been holding up great. Plus still able to be peeled off.
