JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Default Plastidip Rims Complete.

Much better. Simple mod, but time consuming when you only have 2 jack stands. Prep was just 2 clean/dry cycles of the rims, then immediate application. 30 mins between coats.

4 coats. 3 cans total used. 6 hour afternoon. $60 mod.

Beer, BBQ, sun, and workin' on the Jeep. Couldn't ask for much more than that.

Did you have to prep the rims.

Clean,sand,prim then spray.

Did you have any chipping or flaking of paint after a few days.

No sanding or priming. Plasti-Dip is actually a rubberized coating that you can peel off whenever you want. This far no chipping or peeling, though the finish is a bit tacky to the touch and seems porous, so I wonder if dirt will cling to it and be difficult to clean off.

Also no idea yet on off road durability. I will update with my observations.

Finished them up on Saturday, and definitely went down Highbury yesterday at around 3, so could be!

It is a great way to protect your rims from winter salt and road grime as well.
I did my winters last fall, and my summers in april. Love the stuff so much, I did my engine bonnet as well.
It stops the rock chips, and reduces the glare off of the hood.
