The PlastiDip looks the exact same as it did in the pics. Again...SUPER easy to apply, and seems pretty durable. Peels off with a little effort, but doesn't seem like it would come off on its own.

PlastiDip on the rims on my BMW tonight...to see how they'd look and hold-up in a real-world environment.
It seriously only took about 45min for the prep and application. A deck of cards works real well to keep the spray off of the tires. 4-5 coats and I was in business. I only used 2 cans, and these rims are 19" and pretty complicated with a lot of surface and nooks/crannies. I'm guessing you could get away with 2-3 cans and have plenty left over on standard 17" rims. Attached thumbnail(s)

I'm wondering what happens when you need to remove a rim... I think there is a reason all the videos show this process done while on the car...

I'm replacing the rear tires in a few weeks. I'll take pics.
Honestly, touch-up would be a snap. I'm not sure I'd worry about it all that much. I'm more interested in wear/tear over a few weeks. |

I did the rims on my beater Civic a while back and as long as you take on/off the rims yourself, nothing will happen. You get some grease monkey in there with the impact wrench and I'm sure they will screw it up. The plasti-dip holds up better than you think, but isn't indestructible.

How does the curb rash end up looking? Does it hide it a bit?

QUOTE(7TPorsh @ Sep 5 2013, 12:11 PM)  How does the curb rash end up looking? Does it hide it a bit? Not as much as I'd hoped. I guess it DOES fill it in a little if you cake it on in that area. Don't expect miracles though. Depending on the color, it may actually exaggerate the appearance. I'll take a close-up tomorrow when I'm back in Cleveland. |
