It was real easy...jus cover up the breaks and everything with a trash bag and index/playing cards and it saved some time

Mine have been dipped for almost a year and still look great! I clean them when I wash it just like I do the car and detail them with my detailer spray. Holding up great!

mine held up for two years (only applyed one time) before i got my rims done right. all i ever did was wash them with car soap and a rim glove (glove autozone sells) they held up great and i would def do again if i wana change up my rims.

For those that removed the wheels did you spray on the inside as well? I'm looking for some SS rims to put on my LS and as soon as I find them for the right price this will be the first thing I do. My summer break from school just began and want to get some stuff done to my 2013 black camaro!

Any tips on plastidipping I'm about to go all out and do my wheels, mirrors, rocker panels and the back also. How much do you need for wheels? Should I buy the big gallon so I can spray it with a real paint spray gun?
