Looks really good for one heavy coat.

Thanks! I did them when they were off the car, easier to get the edges of the spokes. It's not to hard, just put tape on where you don't want to be painted! Hardest part is taking the tape off, cause if your not careful the paint will want to come with the tape.. but I just used a sharp razor and cut along the tape line

Ok so this question is plasti Dip related, but not auto related.

Has anyone used Plasti Dip on wood, more specifically interior wood trim in a house?

My house is 88 years old and still has the original wood trim, in the original stain, and I hate the idea of painting over it. But with Plasti dip being removable, I thought I could paint the trim with it, that way if I ever go to sell I can remove it a show the original stain. Preserving it rather then covering it permanently.

You will be fine. Ive had it on for a few weeks. Looks perfect. Ive used this stuff for a few years. Its been on my bumper evo mod and its barely chipped..and this is 2 years of being on the front.
