They add a metallic look over a base, its transparent. My rose gold dip looks more ‘pink’ in person with a shimmer finish so I tested one of Plasti Dips metalizers, Copper. Like neon, use a white base for ‘brighter’ appearance over a gray or black base. The base didn’t make much difference for this color but, can make a big difference for other colors. Even trying to get the hang of this sprayer! haha. The spray can came out really smooth and it levels itself smooth as well. Multi coats in layers just like spray paint. Trick is putting on enough coats to get a good peel when you want to remove it. Plasti Dip is rubber so it peels off if you want it to. You can achieve that matte look thats become popular for rims. These are the Dip ‘base’ colors, you can use alone too. Of course I tested on some mason jars! LOL ?įor my base I bought it by the can, I bought white, gray and black to test.

It was b itchy getting in the spoke side area… IJS… Spray can or sprayer some rims are just going to be a bitch achieving full coverage in the spokes.īetter to have extra… Trust me! LOL. The DIY experience I have told me at least a quart of dip would be needed, I needed two to get into the spokes more… So Ima’ ganna tell ya, make at least two quarts so you wont run out mid project if you have rims similar to mine and you want to dip the inside of the rims too. Or whatever other color… Joan has so many colors… so does Dip Your Car. Just noting: You could use the clear Dip, add a gold/red mica to make a rose gold as well. For you guys… its makeup… sure… but, trust the colors are rich and pure. I bought my minerals from Sweet Scents, Joan is a good lady! She was one of my distributors back in the day. Minerals/micas make paint colors, makeup, etc. I bought an ounce so it worked! Lucky for me I used to sell mineral makeup back in the day… I know minerals/micas be it cosmetic grade or not, both bang out some Serious color. I ordered/used an ounce of the red mica making the two quarts. They had a formula(I messaged and asked them about rose gold) for rose gold but, it was for a whole car dip, I just dont need that much dip!(approx 5 gal) You may be a geek like me and want to experiment. Making a color I suggest adding a teaspoon or two at a time until you reach the color you like, you are not going by a formula, we are ‘winging’ it.ĭip Your Car has formulas but, not every color has one. I filled my quart mason jar with Vintage Gold and added the mica using my mixer. I bought this one below, worked great with everything I needed right in a case! My first sprayer… Known as minerals, the minerals that make makeup!īought a paint sprayer too. I bought a gallon of their Vintage Gold and ordered some red mica powder. Well! The DIY nerd I am, I was all over making my own Dip! Plasti Dip! I went searching for ways to paint my rims. So now that Ive rambled on and on and on… Yeah I said aint… Related: Rose Gold Spray Paint I have love for my car and want to ‘hump’ it but aint worth no $1200 rims! LOL. Pffft, actual ‘Rose Gold’ rims… This rim is not my style but if you Google… they are all pricey! Hell to the no am I paying $1200 a rim! LOL. I do like the brushed style silver rims but… Im a rose gold fan. Its one of those things… I have better things to spend on as much as I love my car…. I did some rim pricing… Um yeah, while I ‘could’, I just cant bring myself to spend the money! LOL. My new is sleeker but, still has the ‘Subie’ I love. Now older… while I still have love for my old school 2004 WRX its a bit ‘ricer’ for me now.

Well, here is my new sexy bitch… with the dark stock rims. Im this car geek too, and I geek for Subaru WRX/Sti’s… Im on my second WRX… My first was Rally Blue with the ‘wing’ and hood scoop. Something else about me besides being a Mason Jar-DIY-Glitter-Aqua-Wordpress-SEO-Design freak… Im going to ‘expose’ myself, more than my usual comfort zone… I know some of you other bloggers/visitors feel me. How did I land on Plasti Dip? Let me tell you a tale of rims… This is going to be a Long postso buckle up and browse the ride. This is a whole new kind of spray paint! Well, its not new, but ‘new’.
