I started my plasti-dip rim project Wednesday with one wheel as a test. It's a wheel that had some curb rash on it so I figured it's be the best one to start with.

I sanded a little on the curb rash to smooth it out and I went to town. Sun was fading so I rushed it a little and the coat was a bit rough in spots. I really didn't put on multiple coats, just good all over coverage. Went back over it with another coat yesterday and it's better. One spot towards the inside of the rim looked like it wasn't done well so I just had to pick at it a little (after it was dry) and then I sprayed over it. You can tell where I touched it up but only if you know where to look and get your face within inches of it.

Assuming I continue to the other three wheels, I'll post pics. I put a pic over in Steiger's plasti-dip tips thread yesterday. Just wanted to post here since this thread seems more rim-centric.
