I really want to plastidip my wheels.
I've seen many videos on youtube, and it's a good stuff, but I have such question. Will it be any problem if I want the tyres on or off, or if I want to install/remove lug nuts?

Thanks

Have it on my wheels, looks and seems to be performing like a regular paint would. It actually isn't chip prone like the cheap rattlecan option, as it is slightly rubbery to touch. I havn't tried anything abrasive on them for that exact reason. They clean off easily though.

For tires on and off, just make sure when you paint it, you don't be a lazy arse and paint the wheel with it...otherwise the coats only go on the rim, which will stay with the rim.

Apparently Piston Ring carries it.
Home Depot where I am has it, but the home depots are only in small towns like brandon and selkirk and not winnipeg.
But they are like 20 bucks a can.
I've heard you can order them on amazon.ca for like 4 or 8 bucks a can.

I used it on my door handles also on the over spray it rubs off will post pic tomorrow

duid you just mask arount the handles, and spray away?

I suppose I should update this thread.

I bought 2 cans to do my 4 ADR rims at home depot for around $6 a can. 2 cans was MORE than enough to do my ADRs, but they dont have much surface area. I was able to do 3 coats on each rim with 2 cans and still have about a 1/4 of a can left. I also did my rear emblem with plasti-dip doing the exact thing shown in this video and it came out great. For prep all I did was clean the crap out of my rims and make sure they are 100% dry.

Old clean rim vs new plastic-dip:

After being completly dry and mounted:
