Alternative to plati dip !

Postby Tug » Sat Aug 31, 2013 8:13 pm

Been waiting a while to get some plati dip in black to do my rims it seems It's super hard to get. But while I was waiting I found a product that's the same Called custom shield. I bought 5 cans 1 for each wheel and 1 for grill etc, I ended up using 3 cans for the wheels. First coat looks dodgy but once you do the second It's all good ! Here are some photos ill upload more when I put it all back on my car :)

But thanks for the useless input ;)
