Thanks guys but unfortunately I don't feel comfortable doing them like the pic I posted I just thought it would be nice reason I don't want to is because of how thick the plasti dip will be when I'm done spraying it, it's going to have rough edges and will peel so much easier lol

There's so much info about this everywhere, it all depends on how you spray and how many coats

I've seen plastidip used successfully on painted wheels, clear coat wheels, plastic bumpers and side trim, etc. but I've never seen it used on a chrome surface. I'm interested to see how well it adheres. I would imagine as long as all polish and wax is removed it should do fairly well. Sounds like a job for blue dawn.

Yep some dawn soap will work great
