My buddy decided to move forward and we plast-dipped his wheels yesterday afternoon. We prepped/cleaned the wheels with soap/water and then used rubbing alcohol. I taped off the "Ford" emblem on the center cap and we sprayed 4 coats on each wheel. It took about 4 hours to complete. Overtime, we will see how well it holds onto the wheel.

The only minor issue we ran across is two of the lug nuts hooked onto plastidip (while tightening the lug nut, and it started pulling the plasti-dip off). I had to take the lug nut off, cut the plasti-dip and repaint inside the hole area. Overall, it came out pretty good.

Here's a few pics! Next on the list is painting the calipers red, to add an accent color behind the black wheels.
