"Dipped" My OEM Winter Wheels
So I've joined the 20 something set and spray "dipped" my winter wheels. My 14 year old thinks they look "badass". I like mixing things up every once in a while.

www.dipyourcar.com is where I bought my product online. I didn't do a ton of cross shopping, but their prices seemed reasonable. The two pieces of advice that my friend gave me (he even came over and helped out) that were key are:
1. Make sure the spray cans are WARM and well mixed. It was a sixty degree day and he still had us warming the cans with a blow dryer. The minute we tried to spray a can that had cooled down the product came out in blotches. WARM THOSE CANS! 2.To mask the tire from the edge of the rim use 3 x 5 index cards placed in around the edge. This worked like a champ. It was easy to set up (my 14 year old did it), was very effective and the cards came out easily and didn't stick to the rims. I even sprayed my EZ-Pass (I always hated that white thing up on my windshield). |

Yeah, thats the folks I bought the paint I used for the wheels on my Jeep. This is the color I used and loved it. Now will be buying it to get my OEM's painted this color as well.

Mt. Kisco? From the dealer here or a private seller? Dealer seems to be ok, but I've got a great local shop. |
