The stripes are little bigger then I originally planned. I just haven't gone back and ordered them in a smaller width yet.

I refuse to use plasti-dip ever again. I had done my wheels originally to see if I liked the white. After a while I decided I wanted to get them done pearl white. The process of getting the plasti-dip off them took 6+ hours, a pressure washer, a medium stiffness wheel brush, acetone, and goo gone. I know fender stripes are a lot smaller and will not take nearly as much effort to get off but screw that I will use it again.

I'm cleaning out my garage becuase I'm moving from Norfolk, VA to Point Mugu, CA (about 30 mins north of Malibu) and I pulled out 3 brand new cans of white plasti-dip, 2 cans of pearlizer, 3 cans of glossifier, and 4 or 5 cans of black (no idea where the black came from). I just packed it up and laughed. Maybe I should list it for sale?

Don't worry about the fender stripes! I won FCOTM with the same stripes on mine! Like the car dude... highlights for me are the white accents and JDM fogs

I seen the white head lights and I love them, just can't afford them. My other thought for lights were to color match them and do pearl white shrouds.

After reading your experience with plasti dip. I immediately wanted to check and see if it was going to be stuck to my rims. It's been on for close to 6-8 months now. Through a rough winter. And it came off very nicely ! Took about 5 mins to get off. Sorry to hear it didn't work for you.
