Ah bugger you out did me that logo really pops i might go peel mine off if it comes off easy. But i need to polish my rims like you did yours. And where did you get the vinyl tape? that was my biggest problem was getting a nice paint line. I had normal blue tape all the way around and using square tape on a round wheel means like 50 pieces of tape. Nice work!

It's better known as electrical tape

The nice thing about plasti-dip is if you don't like it or want to re-do it, it's pretty easy to peel off, clean up, and start over

I got all 4 wheels done.



I noticed on one of them I didn't get enough coverage and it is a little thin. I wasn't about to go and try and tape off the line again because that was going to be near impossible, so I'm going to leave it. I will find out how durable it is. But hey.. they are only winter wheels

I am probably going to store them in my apartment until winter. Any ideas on how to display them? They just look plain cool. I was thinking of making a table by just getting a sheet of glass and stacking two wheels up to act as the base. Thought that might be cool. Then in the winter I can switch them out for my Eagle Alloy's and still have a cool table..

Thanks. I'll wash my car once a week too, but so I hear it will hold up as long as you don't get too close with the wand.

Mines still holding up after a couple highway trips and one through pounding rain. I noticed i didn't get the coverage so good in a few spots too. I feel like it should last a while, like others have said as long as nothing hard hits it. Or you dont get it with the pressure wand.
