Looks nice, I also like the idea of the plasti-dip acting as a protecting agent to the wheels.

I'm just curious, I've never used plastidip. Does this **** really peel off clean? Or does it leave residue everywhere and get pretty messy?

How many cans of plastidip, did it take to get the wheels black? More plastidip easier it peels off I'd assume?

comes off clean. its not like peeling off tape or anything. it requires some effort and time. there are videos on youtube of guys removing it form their wheels

Holy ****, that stuff is amazing!

Probably build up like a bitch around hardware on modular wheels though.

You have intrigued me

not sure what your referring to. I didn't use any black paint, i used the plasti-dip as primer and then paint on top of that.
