Just wondering,, how are the wheels holding up guys ( meaning the plastic dip ), with washing and cleaning them. Getting any peeling at all ?
I'm thinking about spraying them black in between my spokes. My signature picture kinda looks like they are. I think i would like that look. But I clean my wheels constantly so im thinking how durable that stuff is and will it hold up to all the washings .

I've had my e60 mirrors covered for almost 2 years and it has never peeled off. I'd say its pretty durable, and if you have any issues just spray a few more coats down the line.

just adding my two cents about how awesome plastidip is.. I did my window trim black, my exhaust, and my winter wheels black as well. I kid you not....It's been about 1 1/2 years, and the trim and wheels looks identical to the day I put it on there.l And I have car washed by power washer.. I don't say anything special to people doing it.. Stuff is made to last after about 1 week of curing. It's all about having enough of base coats

Exhausts looks about 98% like it did on day one. 20 seconds of spraying a new coat will solve the issue. the heat would be only cause for the couple tiny spots you can see. .but Im nit picking just to explain what it looks like.

It looks close enough to perfect that I have not bothered adding new coat
