Did the plasti dip last? I am washing my Kizashi probably every 2-3 weeks and I would like to plasti dip my winter wheels...I am not sure with the salt and everything..

Sorry, I haven't on the forum for a while. Yep, the plasti dip on the wheels are holding up ok! I wash my car almost every week, mostly at commercial car washes. I've had the high pressure hose on the wheels each time. At first, I was a little worried, so didn't have the hose too close just in case it would peel off but it hasn't happened! Now, I don't even think about it!

Hey guys I wanted to let everyone know that's wandering that plasti dip is as durable as any coating I wash my wheels with a power washer every two days and no sign of peeling.

18x8.5 front and 18x10 rear used 5 cans of dip included me do in the inside barrels. 4 coats each wheel inside and out

You bought some really nice wheels! You probably have the nicest white Kizashi I have seen so far (especially with the chrome trims). You should take the picture of the car itself and post it.

Looks great.
Good to see Plasti Dip holds up.
My coworker has an Audi S4 which he plasti dipped the wheels, some trim, and badges. It looks like it's holding up well. He and I are on different floors so we don't get to talk cars too much.

I think Plasti Dip may be my solution given that my lower grill is starting to chip quite a bit from road debris, rocks, bugs, etc. Once I settle on a color and see how things hold up, I may seek a more permanent solution.

Very nice. You should paint the calipers now!

Just curious, I see your passenger door has the button to enter and the other is a keyhole or something? Idon't think My Zashi has it.

Keep in mind that "passenger door" is different depending on where you are.

For Left Hand Drive vehicles (drive on right side of the road), the LH door would have the button and the keyhole as you see pictured above. The keyhole is only found on the driver's door so which door that's on depends which side of the road you drive on.
