Well I don't live in Texas but here around KY for a badass powder coat job cost 275-300 bucks.. I ended up doing plasti dip until I replace the tires then i'ma have them powder coated..
how much is it to do the dip job?
does it last long and does it look as good as a powder coat job
From what I've seen, plastidip is a vinyl spray that can be bought buy the gallon for use in a professional sprayer or in rattle cans. Never seen it in person but it looks like paint and when you are tired of it, it peels off like a sticker.... not sure how long it lasts.
I can see get-a-way drivers making off in a blue car and peeling down to a red one underneath.

sounds good are there places that will do that or would it have to be a at home job?
I remember someone saying that tried the plastidip, used a pressure hose at the car wash and it didn't come off. it's more of the cheaper way of a temp wheel color change for people that don't want to spend that much on new wheels or the price to powdercoat them. If you get tired, just peel it off. but to me, powdercoating is best. I know i'm getting mine done soon but it's about 100 per wheel.
