Holds up great. Next time I wash the car, I'll snap some photos. Had it on there since, every time I look at it I like it more and more. Holds up great to just about everything thrown at it so far.

i just wiped em off with a wet cloth since i didnt have any other cleaners handy and just sprayed em when they were dry. no sanding is needed and the plasti-dip held up great until i peeled it off for the winter. i plan to redo my evo mod and wheels as soon as the weather warms up a bit

i dont see why not, i was pretty cautious while applying the dip to my wheels since i did it with em on the car so i didnt have any over spray, at least not that i ever noticed. same with the evo mod as well.

yeah i sprayed the wheels while they were still on the car but i didnt have any issues with the plasti-dip running. the possibility of it was definitely on my mind but in the end everything was fine, no runs at all
i honestly dont remember how many cans i used, i wanna say i had 4 though and used whatever was left for the evo mod
also, this is how i did the wheels, i got the card idea from a thread on this site a while ago and it actually works rather well...

I hand painted my Third brake light and I spent more time on the masking part to avoid overspray / over stroking onto my WHITE paint. Every little fuckup with dark additives show up on white even worse than black. I intend on doing this when it warms up a bit more and theres actual sunlight.
My project for today is wrapping my tail-light in vinyl with custom lettering on it. But I have to clean all the paint off it first.
