I picked up a kit a few weeks back and finally got around to trying out the new Plastidip Hyperdip. It’s similar in most ways (spray, peelable, preperation). This materiel definitly is less viscous and you can tell when you spray it. It goes on more like spray paint rather than OG plastidip

Directions for this are also different. With Hyperdip, you actually spray down a 50% coverage for yourself first coat (versus heavy initial coat) then follow with 6-8 thin coats. You use much faster movements than regular plastidip also. I noticed that quickly because it started to run on my first wheel. I was able to salvage it with only a little visual damage in the end.

Overall I used all 5 cans with about 7 coats on my 20” Laramie sport wheels I’m super happy with the paint finish. It’s much more deep black and somewhat glossier which is why it seems to look grey in the close up pictures. Longevity wise, we will see how it holds up. I live in Western PA so we see our fair amount of snow and ice.

Overall it’s a big improvement over the original formula. I don’t see a reason not to use it on emblems, trim, wheels etc.

What color is this?
This is the kit. They only offer the hyperdip in black currently.

I see you also sprayed the lug nuts which leads me to believe you sprayed the rims while still mounted? Also does the coating come off of the lug nuts when you rotate the tires?

Yes, I would have preferred to take the wheels off to do but was unable at the time (truck doesn't fit in my garage). I'm assuming that when I take the lugs off that the material will most likely come off.

Thanks. I’m thinking I will take the wheels off when I do it as it fits in my garage.
