I just sprayed the back of my car. I am gonna do all the chrome on the sides this weekend.
FYI: The home depot I went to had black of course, but also gloss white in a spray.

No if you do that the Plasti dip will rip with the tape as it dries over the tape , when you pull the tape off right after spraying the Plasti dip doesn't have time to dry on top of the tape .

let me ask u guys something.. about how much of the can did you use on each rim?? I used 3 cans total on all four..
is that too little?
you can KIND OF still see the silver paint under it, is that enough?
I realized the closer you place the can the less textured the coat comes out...

From the other forums I've read through, mostly CL, people have said that they've gone through a can per wheel or have done a minimm 5 coats on each wheel. So I guess somewhere in that ballpark would be where you would want to aim for?

That came out really nice , good spray job . I only ended up doing three coats a wheel and one coat of clear coat . I still used about a can a wheel though cause i did pretty thick coats . Now just have to see how long it lasts .

Thanks, it was done over a 2 day period and I think I am going to regret not doing the coats thicker but its cool cuz I can always redo it and still roll my car as I have my stocks.

yea I figured...that just goes for tires tho. the rest can be a pita
btw the clear is not a true clear...its a hazy finish. I think someone tried actual paint clear, but haven't seen pics
