Just aren't going to let that go, are you? I am planning on Plastidipping my rings to match my black tow receiver.

"to match my black tow receiver."

Sonofa........

I went and purchased the black badge from dealership for 40 bucks. Matches my reciever and rims just fine now! Seriously though the adhesive they used on the badge was hell getting off with a heatgun, have patience guys dont damage your paint!

To add to the thread, i got mine powdercoated for free (thanks discount tire!) and matches the carbonized grey on my grill, came out nice.

I’m just glad he is trying. We all started somewhere.

Instead of making videos he should be watching some.

The bitch of it all is, as "YouTube Influencers" they've probably had the Bronco since June of last year!

Had mine color matched personally. Wife did too.

Watching this video was like watching my brother in law use tools for the first time! ( he didnt know why the drill bit kept falling out of the drill, had know idea he had to tighten the chuck)

I’ve never understood how people spend decent money on a brand new vehicle, then ruin it by doing shit like this. If you can afford a $40k+ truck you should be able to afford to have this done properly.

Getting ready to paint my beauty rings (considered powdercoating, but giving paint a try first. I'm pretty good with a rattle can).

Decided to look up a video or two to see if there was any issues I might run into, either removing the rings (which I will do), or color-matching the existing black wheels.

Then, I stumbled upon this video. If they're forum members, I apologize, but this is one of the cringiest How-To videos I've ever seen.
From not being able to remove the bolts/ring, to not masking off the rim(!!!) or tire, to appearing to never had used spray paint before(!!!!!!!!).

That paint job reminded me of something .................

Talk about permanent tire black. I've always wanted perfect tire black and wow! Never thought of that.

Poor people. Sometimes experience and research is key. Now those tires are going to be horrible in a couple of years. Not prepping. Wow! That won't last a long time. Sometimes it isn't worth Doing It Yourself. On a new vehicle too! Sometimes you got to leave it to the pros.

... Sometimes it isn't worth Doing It Yourself. Sometimes you got to leave it to the pros.

Now I want to see this guy reloading or building his own gat. LOL

Who would want to be first to test it out?!?

 

[heynow14]

Dude...that video. What on earth? Neither one of them has ever used a tool, built anything or painted anything. Ever. So why start now and why think you have something to teach others?

i have plasti dipped many rims and trim. done correctly will last minimal 3 years, but this video hurts my soul , as a former graffiti artist and customizer. no prep or masking of the tire or rims

 

[ColonelAngus]

its dip so it is not permanent but still. i think u can get them done by a pro for like 100 maybe 150 please dont do this

Yeah i'm planning on dipping mine I think, at least at first. However I will actually do it properly.... i might not scuff up the rings at all but if I do it will be fine enough that I can polish it out. Even if you decide to be lazy and do it with the rings on, FFS, mask the shit off.
