Looks good.

If the PD starts to peel no need to totally take it off, just respay it

thanks for all the compliments. What are u guys using to clean the wheels with this stuff on though? Have seen people use tire wet on them to give them a nice shine. Had a little incident last night, tried wiping one of the wheels with turtle wax spray tire gloss and a micro fiber rag, somehow it seems the tire gloss broke down or ate away at the plasti dip. After a minute or so wiping down the whole wheel silver started to show up on a few parts of the wheel. Pulled the wheel, removed the plasti dip, and sprayed it again. I'll have to remember to just use maybe a wet rag to wipe them down, and not use cleaners on them

that's interesting that the turtle wax tire shine broke the plasti dip down

yeah it was weird, like it just ate right through it, and a firm wipe with the rag would just lift it right off the wheel with ease

Might have to try the turtle wax tire foam. I'm assumin just spray the whole wheel with it and not worry about it getting on the rotors and calipers?

I would also try this.. It should not come off that easy. How many cans did it take for you to do the wheels

You might have put it on to thin.

used i think maybe 3 cans for all wheels. I will admit i did put it on a bit thin, was in a hurry as always and excited to get them done to see the final result. Just went out and sprayed another coat on all the wheels. Maybe tomorrow if i get time i will put another thick heavy coat on all of them
