Odd.. I've heard the exact opposite. Apply some tire shine to get the plasti-dip to shine and appear glossy.

Might be certain types that cause it. I suggest we put it to a test.

I used VHT Epoxy Paint (Satin black) with Duplicolor Wheel Clear on mine and they have held up very well. No problems with using tire shine either
