Huh? Plastidip is easily removed and easily reapplied if desired.

I only did 4 coats on mine. I spray mine every time I wash them and haven't noticed any peeling or issues. And if in 3 years I wish I didn't do it, I'll just peel it off. That's the best part about plasti-dip!

I'm actually really digging those. My 18's are going to become my winters as soon as I find a set of 20's, so I just might give this a go!

i dipped my wheels last summer and it looked good but it comes off too easy! i then had my wheels powdercoated and love it! only $400 for all four 22 inch wheels. and very durable. If you're looking for a permanent colour change with plastidip dont waste your time,get them powdercoated, but if temporary then dip is great.
