I am thinking about getting some new rims and trying this on the back side of the rim. It'd be alot easier redoing this then scrubbing brake dust off. Maybe every 3 to 6 months, take the rim off, peel off the old coat and reapply it.

I did a bunch of stuff on my 2010 FX4. I did the emblems, mirror reflectors, and 20" wheels.
Here is the best part. When I had my new tires installed the plasti dip on the edges of the wheels got pulled up. Took a razor blade around the outside lip of the wheel. Peeled off the messed up part and just re-sprayed where I removed the peeling plasti dip. Looks like it never happened! Here is a quick pic. Will get some better ones once the weather gets a little nicer here.

Yea don't tape the shape of the emblem. You tape a square about inch from emblem. Then tape newspaper around so overspray doesn't get everywhere. Then just spray the emblems couple 3 or 4 times. Once it's all dry and u remove newspaper there will be a black square around your emblem and on the paint. Just start peeling the dip off the truck very simple and if u mess up just peel it off.

How did you do inside the 0 if the 150? You got no plasti dip there...
Also for the people who did their rims, where did you tape? Around the tire I assume and what about the holes for the lug nuts, did you have to tape inside them so they didn't close up or what?
