Looks real easy. just remove, clean, tape, paint, reinstall. Also have a vid for removing it. Heck of alot cheaper than buying new rims. One other point for this would be, great for preserving your wheels in the winter. Might check into pricing.

Clean! So it just pulls off if you decide to change your mind?

Correct.

Is it easy to work with like paint? Does it kind of smooth out on its own?

yes, but counter intuitively ... the thicker you get it ( to a certain point ) the easier it spreads and dries ... it takes some experimenting because even after doing 4 rims i couldnt tell you guys the best way ... i could over the phone, but im going on being up for 24+ hours ...and typing is not so easy

so i thought id share a few more pictures ... taken with a tripod at night by a convention center and then on an overcast day ... ive yet to be able to get sunny daytime pictures because frankly ... it hasnt been all that sunny in chicagoland lately ... feels like were in portland or something ...

oh well - enjoy - and thanks for the compliments guys, shes finally looking different enough to stand out in a crowd or not get lost in the shopping mall parking lot ...

true story - went into walmart the other night - parked next to a Mitsubishi endeavour- or whatever the truck is called - not murdered but black with black rims and tints ... and when i was coming out, he was as well - complimented me on the monte being completely black, and as we were leaving an all black WRX rolled up and parked next to me ... it was pretty cool to see sadly the WRX didnt want to have some fun

yes that is the right can ... it can be found at home depot or menards or something ... but shop around because i saw it as much as 8 dollars, and as little as 5.49

and for the pictures ... by all means man ... go for it ... https://picasaweb.google.com/DRJesus616/MONTEPICTURES#
