Default Plasti-Dip is some amazing stuff!

Had to share my experience with this stuff.. Decided to try it out on my wheels, and it came out pretty nice! So I thought I'd share the results.

Thanks... me too. I'm thinking it'll hold up pretty well. There are quite a few youtube videos of people using this stuff on wheels. and the best part is that it's completely removable.

Plastidip looks like it did a good job.

I think the rims looked better before, though!

Thanks.. I was surprised at how easy it is to spray on and the coverage evens out really well. It looks much better in person.

I've never used it...I hear it peels off REALLY easily if you say, scrape it with a fingernail. is this true?
