Ok so Im this DIY blogger geek and did a post on dipping my rims.

I wanted rose gold rims. I thought Id share my experience with the dipping. I had to make my own color.

I personally love the stuff but I know some hate it. haha.

(I hope I can share my link here)

Rose Gold Plasti Dip

A couple of pictures from my post.

The paint job looks good. Color looks...different. Kinda reminds me of the red clay mud we have here in the Appalachians. I just wouldn't leave the plastidip on for more than (1) month. Otherwise, that quick, easy peel might be anything other than.

Best of luck!

Thanks. Im not worried as a solvent will clean it off if needed.

While the jar in my post was not exposed to the elements, its sat for about three months before it was peeled. It took me a few months to gather up this post. Blogging is a process. haha.

Glass and paint are two very different animals.

Still, I wish you the best. The concept intrigued me until I saw it pull off clear coat on some cars and the hoods and body panels on others. To me, I wonder if the "alcohol prep" isn't the most damaging aspect. Can't be conducive to sustaining Subaru's already "weak" paint, and especially clear coat; Or, any painted surface, for that matter.

Alcohol prepping is a very common practice for car paint, especially new car paint. Left with no protection, however, it would certainly become damaging to a car's clear coat because it removes ALL wax and oils from a paint's surface, letting UV rays and other contaminants damage it.

Its all well, I knew posting this some 'nay sayers' would come and its ok, my skin is thick.

Just saying that dip sat for months and peeled just fine, I know it was glass. LOL. I know a thing or two about that... Its kind of my 'thing'. haha.

Alcohol is a common prep for painting many things not just cars... Its like a 'standard'. peek inside a DIY-Crafter world.

I'll update my post when its time to peel my tires. haha. I wouldn't necessarily trust it on my paint either but for rims, grills, badges, etc I love the stuff overall and it can be used on many things.

Works great on the glass, seems to chip and scratch less over spray paint.
