Awesome! So it goes on nice and easy, with no uneven type look? I'll probably pick some up this week, and give it a shot.

My buddy next door did it and it came out really good... It DOES spray out flat black so you can spray your wheels and put them on to see if you like the flat black before you gloss it..
I havent looked at my neighbors wheels up close but from my view to his driveway which is no more than 40 feet, they look great.

I am trying the whole paint over the top of this stuff today. I sprayed the 3 coats on a old rim last night, let it sit all day, and I sprayed 3 coats of just rattle can paint on the top of it. As far as looks, it looks good, but my main goal is to see how it pulls off. I will let you know later what the conclusion is with paint over the top.

Yeah definitely keep us posted jojo.
Hp, at bare minimum it should look a little better than the electrical tape idea ya think lol?? I tried that the other day, and got so damn frustrated. Parts of it kept peeling up, so i said screw it lol.

Ok, the paint looked real good on there, and dryed pretty fast. I would assume that the plastic dip was acting like a primer sort of. When I went to peel it off, it was a little tougher, but not by alot. And it still all peeled off, in some spots the paint would flake off of the dip, but that was from me rubbing on it. When I went to scratch the paint with my nail, u couldn't even tell the scratch. I had to push my nail into the paint/dip and the scratch that way. So I think the dip gives the paint a little bit of a flex to it. My next project will be to try my mirrors out.
