Been doing a little snooping on youtube and plasti-dip seems to be pretty popular with car and some motorbike guys for colour rims and badges or any part etc.
Has anyone ever tried this? was thinking about doing it to my wheels?

I'd be concerned that an uneven coat would throw the wheel out of balance. I'm intrigued, though. If you do it I'd love to see the results.

Im considering it, I will see if I can buy it here in the uk.
It appeals to me, as I am not sure 100% if I want black wheels, and whether I will like them, I am on a low budget for anything I do to my scoot and the fact that its so easy to do, and removable.
I have seen it done on loads of car alloys, and I saw a couple of videos with motorbikes.
Would help if I knew someone who had done it on a scoot to see how it turned out though.

If I do it, I will be sure to post!
