In-depth, how-to video on plasti-dipping your rims.
I packed a lot of information in this video to help you get right into dipping your rims. There are other techniques on how to dip your car, this is just one of them. If you have a different way that you prefer, then please do it that way.

*Awesome video!* I dipped my RIMS, front GRILL and my BADGES black (2007 Ford Edge SEL). I also painted my exhaust tips black as well. Your Edge is looking good man!

I plasti dipped my rims before and I would never do it again. It looked great at first, but eventually the rims went from black to a rust brown because of the dirt and brake dust. Because it's paint, you can't wash it aggressively or use certain products because it would eat away at the paint or thin the paint which would make it more difficult to remove. I eventually removed the plasti dip altogether and now my wheels are back stocked...It looks much better.

Thanks for the kudos. I am very happy with how it turned out too. My Edge is protected for the winter time and looks great too! Lol, I don't that package would make it Dan. Your lights are still working perfectly. I am still loving them! Speaking of lights, I'm so happy I installed the rear door puddle lights according to your tutorial. It turns to night around 530pm here now and with a baby on the way it is going to be great to have.

Awesome! Glad you were able to save that much money. Plasti-dip is awesome. I have my grill done the same way. Enjoy the new look of your ride!

Plasti-dip does peel off but it takes some effort to get it started. I cannot guarantee that it will not peel off during the winter time, but more than likely it will stay on. Many people put their cars, with plasti-dip'd wheels or grills, through automatic car washes and they do not peel off. Plasti-dip was pretty much made for protecting things. You can dip your tools, shoes, anything really. I dip'd my wheels because I wanted winter protection this year. As a plus, it looks good too.

Thank you man! I did some research yesterday and Home Depot/Canadian Tire doesn't carry it but another hardware store does, and it's $20/can compared to $6/can in the states. Think I'll grab a few of these cans on my next trip there.
@prestonroyce
@prestonroyce 11 лет назад
Yes there is a clear option for plasti-dip. If you do a Google search for it, you can find more info on it. 3-4 coats should only take about 2 cans to do, but like I always do, buy more than you think you need. It's not expensive stuff, so it won't hurt your wallet to buy one or two extra bottles. On the bottle itself, it states that it will cover a 5-10sq ft. area. So maybe that will help put things into perspective for you.

That's awesome Preston. Amazed how well the coating leveled out with no orange peel. Your video is definitely going to help others both with the install and to make them feel more comfortable trying it themselves. Nothing better than video to accomplish this. U-duh-man. P.S. - How are my vertical LED running lights doing on your Edge? It's been, what, 6-7 months since you bought them? FYI, I still haven't seen the package with one of your wife's tasty Korean meals.

@prestonroyce
@prestonroyce 11 лет назад
Very cool, I'm glad the video is helping you! So the best way to get Plasti-dip is to go down to your local hardware store like Home-depot (if you live in the States). Plasti-dip is a spray on rubber, so you're not actually painting your rims. For more information on the product, visit ww w . plastidip . com

Cool. I have a 2013 Edge with the 20" Limited chrome rims. However, winter is coming. Do you know how I should protect the chrome? I don't really want to take them off and go through that process since I have all-seasons on. I want to find a spray that gives it a protective coating from peeling in the winter. If you know anything I can do, please help.
@prestonroyce

Plasti Dip is a multi-purpose, air dry, specialty rubber coating. It can be easily applied by dipping, brushing, or spraying. You can get it at Home Depot or a similar store and online too. Check out ww w plastidip com
@smokinone951
@smokinone951 10 лет назад
so the process is basically like reg spray painting. 2 questions- 1. wouldnt it b easier to jack car up instead of rolling back and forth? 2. why didnt you tape off ford emblem in middle?
@prestonroyce
@prestonroyce 10 лет назад
It might be easier for you to jack it up. A lot of people take the wheels off their car and do it that way. I didn't have jacks, so this was my solution. Do whatever way is best for you. As for my emblem, I didn't give it much thought actually. Just sprayed it over.

Oh awesome man. I never knew plasti-dipping was actually for protection, thanks for clearing that up.. so is there a clear option for Plasti-dipping? Like a clear-coat, where 3-4 coats would get me through the winter? And how many bottles would this amount to?

hey Preston, your edge looks great. I also purchased the daytime bright lites for my edge as well and am now thinking of dipping my rims. I noticed you dipped your grill, Did you disassemble the grill from the car or just taped off? Thanks.
@prestonroyce
@prestonroyce 10 лет назад
Thank you very much! I love my DTBLs. When I dipped my grill I removed the inserts. I had a few holidays after I reinstalled them, so I tapped the inserts off to hit the spots I missed. Tapping off the inserts or removing them will take about the same amount of time. Removing them will give you a much more finished look. I recommend you remove them, just be prepared to put a little more work into it.

This car was sold in Europe? What year is it, 2011? What engine?
@prestonroyce

No, it was imported from the US. The engine is V6 285HP, if I remember correctly. It is a 2011 Ford Edge.

@@prestonroyce Thanks, I have the same SUV in the US and was thinking of taking it back to Europe but worried about parts availability since not sold there. Importing them gets expensive. It shares a platform with Mazda CX9, which I don't know if sold in Europe either.
@prestonroyce
@prestonroyce 3 года назад
@@nas0075 Absolutely! I had the Edge shipped from the factory to Germany and I was able to get it serviced and repaired at a local Ford dealership. They needed to have parts shipped from the US, so it took about a week longer to get my repairs done but that wasn't bad. There wasn't anything I couldn't have done on the car, that I can remember.

Those are plastic covers over the aluminum wheels. Can't you just pop the cover off with a pry bar?
@mikeyoung6347
@mikeyoung6347 6 лет назад
YES!!! The plastic cover does pry off, and you will have a much better wheel and surface to paint. Do not plasti dip, use a matte paint if that's the look you want. Prying off the plastic cover is not as simple as it sounds. This will entail actually taking wheel off car, and tire off wheel. There is also a lot of adhesive to contend with. I recommend a soda blast to prep for paint. Once you have the plastic cover off, and are ready to soda blast, take note of the square shaped holes where the spokes meet to the outer edge of wheel. They will most likely be filled with dirt. The packed in dirt and road grime can put each tire out of balance. Do the best job you can. Its so much less expensive to recondition your wheels as wish. I never understood the fascination with plasti dip, or hack jobs.

How Many Cans of plasti dip PER Wheel?
@prestonroyce
@prestonroyce 10 лет назад
I believe I used about 5 cans for all the wheels combined. So just over 1 per wheel. I put a lot of coats on though. You can probably use less than one can on each wheel if you want. But since PD is so inexpensive, it's not really a big deal.

ok looks good but why not take off the wheels, mask off the tyres (if not have a local garage remove them for you would only cost you like £10 a tyre to have this done some might just do you a favour!) then you could make sure you get the whole rim front and back seems like a simpler solution to me trying to cover the discs with a bin liner looks like a false economy! Most cars come with an emergency Jack and if you don't have one it's a wise idea to carry one might save you from being stranded a the side of the road with a flat! (assuming you have a spare!)
@prestonroyce
@prestonroyce 10 лет назад
This is a DIY project and something I wanted to do in the comfort of my home. You are correct about using a jack, I could have made a video of doing it that way, but this is the way I wanted to show people how it could be done. This is a good way to do it in just a few steps. Thanks for taking a look at my video!
