This really is cool stuff. Since originally doing my wheels at the beginning of the summer my truck has had 4 different "pairs of shoes." That doesn't include the ability to just use a black tire shine on it to give it a gloss look, or leave as is flat. The thing is that I'm not sure which way I like it the best...but thats the best part of this stuff is the ability to change it up like that. And this is all for about $20 total.

I like all of those.

I've been thinking about doing the black wheel with the chrome cap and lugs.

Just curious what procedure you use to get great results like that?

part of it's "crack" like tendencies is how easy it is to use. Clean the wheel very good then spray. The first two tires I took off the truck took my time taped off the tire and what not. Then I thought to myself why do that? The other two I just popped off the lugs popped off the ctr cap and sprayed with no taping off. If any overspray gets on the tire...just peel it off. Thats actually how I did the lip. I just peeled it right off and it pulled right clean off just the lip. 3 cans did all rims with 3 solid coats. w/ more than enough left over to do the emblems.

Yeah I didn't tape my tires either. Just did the lugs and the outer humps on my rims.
