Here ya go!

I plasti dipped my wheels yesterday took them to a car wash and they are still good. I live in Tallmadge Ohio near Akron right down the street from Summit Racing. Here are a couple of photos taken of my car with the plasti dip wheels. I like it and I can always peel it off later if I want a change.

...

I only cleaned my wheels with a cleaner and then sprayed away. If I had all 4 wheels off together it would have taken me about an hour. Then Give it about another hour to dry or if its hot out you could probably just take off after you put them back on. Let me know if you have any more questions. It does not chip off and you can wash your car with a sprayer. I did on the same night after I painted them.

If you want to possibly undo it, the plastidip works, but other than that the **** sucks. Doesn't bond nearly as well and discolors easily with use, hated the person whom I bought my Ion rims from for using it.

Also, I like the playing cards, but save yourself some time and use notecards, 50/50 overlap. Works like a charm.

I think my wheels turned out fairly well for spray can. Although it took me about 2-3hrs per rim to sand and paint.

In order for the plastidip to be able to peel off legit, you have to put multiple thick coats of it on. If you don't, then when you try to take it off, it'll just tear into small pieces and it'll take forever to get off your wheel. Believe me, you have to mess up to learn the correct way.
