Plasti Dip over chrome wheels or trim needs thorough surface prep (degrease, then a light tack coat) and, for a good finish, more than the base color alone — most people end up combining two or three products from Performix’s own line rather than a single can. Here’s the actual product lineup, from the base color coat through the metallic and gloss finishers.

The picks, in detail
Plasti Dip Black (11oz aerosol)
The base color coat almost every chrome-wheel job starts with — a matte black peelable rubber coating that hides chrome entirely once 4-5 coats are built up.
- 11oz aerosol can
- Peelable rubber coating
- Matte black finish
- Fully removable if you change your mind
- Cheapest way to start a wheel project
- Needs 4-5+ coats per wheel for even coverage over chrome — budget more than one can
Plasti Dip Glossy Black Rim Kit (4 cans + Cangun)
A bundled kit combining color coat and gloss finish cans plus the Cangun spray-gun accessory, sized for a full set of 4 wheels in one purchase.
- 4 aerosol cans
- Includes Cangun trigger tool
- Combines color + gloss in one kit
- Sized correctly for 4 wheels without guessing can count
- Cangun makes the trigger finger less tired over a long job
- Pricier upfront than buying single cans, though it avoids running short mid-job
Plasti Dip Metalizer — Graphite Pearl (11oz)
Sprayed over a black base coat to add a metallic pearl effect that reads well against chrome-toned trim — one of several Metalizer colors alongside copper, gold, and silver.
- 11oz aerosol
- Metallic pearl finish over black base
- Also available in copper, gold, silver
- Adds a premium metallic look over flat black
- Several color options to match trim
- Must be applied over a black base coat first, not standalone
Plasti Dip Glossifier (11oz)
Sprayed as a final clear layer over any matte Plasti Dip color to turn the flat finish glossy — the standard way to get a shiny rather than matte look.
- 11oz aerosol
- Clear gloss finish enhancer
- Works over any Plasti Dip color
- Turns flat matte into a shiny finish without changing color
- Small can goes a long way as a topcoat
- Adds a step/cost on top of the base color cans
Plasti Dip Luxury Metal — Black Sapphire (11oz)
A premium metallic-black finish that reads closer to a factory metallic paint than the standard black + Metalizer combo, popular for wheels specifically because it looks less like a DIY job.
- 11oz aerosol
- Deep metallic black-blue finish
- Luxury Metal product line
- More premium look straight out of the can than plain black
- Popular specifically for wheel projects
- Costs more per can than standard Plasti Dip Black
Plasti Dip Black & Metalizer Rim Kit (4 Black + 2 Graphite Pearl + Cangun)
A pre-bundled version of the black-plus-metalizer combo above, sized for 4 wheels and including the Cangun tool, so you don’t have to buy the two products separately and guess quantities.
- 4 cans Black + 2 cans Graphite Pearl Metalizer
- Includes Cangun
- Sized for 4 wheels
- One purchase covers the full metallic-black wheel look
- Avoids under-buying either product
- No gloss finisher included — matte/metallic only unless you add Glossifier separately
Plasti Dip Luxury Metal Rim Kit (4 Black Sapphire + 2 Glossifier + Cangun)
The premium version of the rim kit, bundling Black Sapphire Luxury Metal with Glossifier for a glossy metallic-black finish over chrome, plus the Cangun tool.
- 4 cans Black Sapphire Luxury Metal
- 2 cans Glossifier
- Includes Cangun
- Complete glossy metallic finish in one kit, no separate purchases needed
- The most premium-looking finish in the Plasti Dip lineup
- The most expensive kit in the lineup
Buying tips
- Degrease chrome thoroughly with wax/grease remover or denatured alcohol first — Plasti Dip won’t grip a wheel with any residual polish or road grime on it.
- Spray a light tack coat, wait 10-15 minutes, then apply 4-5 full coats with 10-15 minutes between each — thin, patient coats give better results than a few heavy ones.
- Plasti Dip is fully peelable, which is exactly why it’s popular over chrome: if the color doesn’t work out, it strips off without touching the chrome underneath.
