How long did this take to do? Start to finish?

A couple hours I would guess. I mean I did it at my shop so I took the front beads off and taped and sprayed 1 coat then did some stuff around my shop then sprayed and did more work and so on until I had 4 good coats with time to dry in between. Honestly dont worry about future tire changes. Take the rims to a tire place have them pop the front bead off and take them home tape the tire off and spray them. The coating will come off when you get new tires put on. When the tire slides over the lip of the rim its going to take the coating with it. So when you get new tires have them seat the beads and balance then pop the front bead off redo the plastidip and spray tire and rim down with soapy water and fill with air to pop the front bead back on. Thats what I do but with my own machine. Its so cheap dont worry about 15-20k miles from now. If you dont want the front bead taken off just get notecards like suggested above.
