That's not how you're failing to impress anyone.

It is if you do it poorly, sure. If you do it correctly, it will come off looking like a factory / stock option. And it's not that hard to get it done right.

*edit*

One thing I forgot to mention in my 2 bit instructions earlier was that you have to consider the lugs and threads and how the paint will affect them!

Powder coat, don't paint

I used painter's tape b/c it's so easy to cut and mold. but if the rim isn't clean/degreased, may not wanna stick otherwise.

powdercoating suggestions here are very good too btw if you wanna spend the coin. for whatever it's worth to you, i used a rustoleum high heat paint for mine.

How much does it cost to plastidip 4 rims roughly?

I have some black 20s I will sell you. I am wanting to go back to stainless.

Plastidip is spray on rubber coating, or i guess stretchy rubber-like plastic. I think each can is like 8-11 bucks depending on where you buy it. I'd recommend high heat rustoleum or powdercoating like these other's are mentioning. I have used plasti-dip on things like tow-hooks b/c it's easy to remove them and just re do them when they wear down or start peeling. Of course, a lot of people plasti-dip b/c it's not permanent and you can just peel it right off and change color or re-do it any time you want for cheap... but it will be harder to get an "even" looking job with a normal spray can of plasti-dip b/c it can sometimes spit out tiny chunks in my experience. Of course, I never bought the high dollar spray applicator system they make.

Got any 3s?
