Could you please specify the exact 'Plasti Dip' you used? I searched their website but could not find any automotive app's. If it is removable, as mentioned, I would like to 'black out' the stock 16's on my Alpine White '04 525i just for fun.

The forums on DipYourCar.com and even better the YouTube Channel "DipYourCar" are you friends, take a look at them before starting your project.

It looks like he used the original black Plasti Dip in aerosol form, this can be found many hardware stores along with white and sometimes gunmetal. A wide array of colors, textures, enhancers, pearls, etc exist but must be ordered online.

Get creative! ....you can always take it off.

I assumed I could get it at my local, spitting distance, auto supply.


Thanks for your help.

How long does this stuff last? And can it withstand the harshness of Winter?
