Just got my plasti dip vintage gold in. Prepped my wheels. Started painting. First and second coat go great then. 3rd one is a fail. I can tell painting will never be a career in my future. I'll send pics of what they look like. It's a mess but no up close shots ha....

plastidip lays down like garbage, cause it was the 3rd coat, your tip probably got clogged , causing it to look like crap. You always have to clean the tip. Also before you start painting with plastidip, make sure you take a hairdryer and warm up the can.

Why in gods name would you not tape off the tires??? And don't say "oh, it peels off". Good luck with that. I aware... if you people are lazy then don't bother doing something like this.
