I did my 11 5.0 Mustang. Just take them off and get some playing cards and slide them all the way around the wheel and go to town. Looked pretty good IMO. -Shane

Good info and tutorials on dipping from these guys... https://www.dipyourcar.com/pages/videos-tutorials

Aside from the actual Plasti-Dip itself, don't fall for the "must haves". Make sure it's a warm day or keep your cans in a bucket of hot water to allow for a nice spray without spitting. Wipe your tires with Armorall but avoid touching the wheels to make peeling a breeze... or you can do the index or playing cards but I find the Armorall trick easier. Practice first before doing your wheels to get a feel for it... peeling a screw-up with thin layers is a PITA.

I put several thin layers on. If I recall correctly, bought 4 cans and had a little left over.

I might have to wait awhile for that warm day since I live in Wisco.. but I'll definitely take that advice. Thanks!
