Plastidipped my Wheels!

Hi Friends!

So I woke up a few days ago and decided I wanted to try and plastidip my wheels. I was torn between black and red. I ended up going with red - the beauty of plastidip is that if it sucks, rip it off and change it! I also used the glossifier so it wouldnt be a flat, matte red.

I ordered beauty rings and am looking for baby moons to cover the hubs. I feel like these will help break up the read and make it more subtle than it is now..

What do you guys think?

Re: Plastidipped my Wheels!

I think the playing cards are a great idea.
I only have an idea what plastic dip is but it looks fine. Follow up with the beauty rings and baby moons, should be a killer.

Very nice! Looks good as is but trim rings and caps will bring it out . Good idea using the cards.

I agree, the playing cards was a good trick.
