[UPDATE] Plasti Dip My Wheelssss!!

I only got one pic for now my phone died at the gass station,

Here's my tips I can give, don't spray close, wait about 15-20 after each coat, "I did 3 coats" only needed 3 cans, none of it got my the breaks or anything behind the wheels paper towels work perfect, the first coat I did light the 2 others pretty heavy, let it dry for about an hour be for you drive it, I'm very happy the way it came out, looks pro! Again thanks to the guys who told me about it, saved me $500!! let me know what you guys think! P.S I know my car need a full detail!!

Copy and past them into new tab,
My phones Badluck and won't let me do anything right,
Or I'm just a dumb ass and can't do anything,
I'm leaning more on the dumb ass side,

Haha dope pics man! You got me convinced first thing I am doing tomorrow is heading out to home depot or whatever and getting me 4 cans of this stuff!!!! That looks fantastic!! I also read it hides curb rash amazingly!!!! I cannot wait to do mine - as am guilty of a little curb rash myself! This will do wonders on my wheels for sure. So basically just cover the hell out of the breaks and all the internal of each tire with clothe or paper towels or whatever? and just make sure its covered to the max then spray away?? Sounds easy enough to me! awesome!

Thanks man, I can't stop looking at the pics my self,
And ya just cover them up and don't spray close stay about 12Inc away and spray the whole rim every 15-20 mins 3-4 times, after that let it sit for about 30 mins check it out and hit any spots you missed, none of it got on the stuff behind or on the Car it self, as for the tire, of it get on there no big deal, a rag or paper towl will take it right off, keep me updated on your little project, I would love to see how it comes out for you,
I'm also thinking about doing my "little" spoiler on the trunk, thought about the side mirrors but not 100% on that,

For those of you who have done this, could you use a good tape to mark off areas you don't want coated? I would like to leave a thin line of the chrome and black out the rest. Was thinking a painters tape or something. Think that would work?

I'm sure you can use any tap that will stick to the rim, but you might have to out a new strip for every cost, can't leave it on it might stick whit the coat,

Me too!!!

How would you go about it? If you tape it off would you have to pull the tape after each coat?
