Plasti dip surprisingly does work for a while. I painted my wheels on my Audi back in December and no problem yet and I commute around 80 miles a day. But I agree on the white calipers getting dirty quick especially when it rains/snows.

well the reason i did it is because I wanted to see if I would like it before painting them.. There is a thread about this already, so u must have missed it. I will paint them whenever I get a chance..

^ahh...i see, just an FYI. plastidip will discolor and peel off, especially in heat. whoever told you that or done that is an idiot. if you wanted to "see" you should use a UV coated, heatproof vinyl.
