Umm not sure how long but I do have it on parts of my wheels for about a month now and they still look like the day I did them. And yes it does brake it up very nice and makes it look unique

Cool. I have a few more things to spray and will post up pics later. This stuff really is easy to work with.

I have not had a lot of experience painting or anything in the past, so was unsure on this project. Not that I would damage the truck, but just that I would spend all the time on it, and mess something up based on inexperience. In a way I did, but it is minor. I noticed after everything was off and I got it outside, that the top of the badges could have used one more layer. I may do it in the near future, should be a quick fix.

Otherwise, here are my pics!

Still a little cleaning to do on the edges once it has dried a bit longer, but man was the stuff easy to work with, especially removing the spray around the emblem.

Thanks everyone that contributed to this thread! Most of you asked/answered the questions I had leading into it, which took a lot off me.

Well, I decided to go all out and try my gas cap, and it looks nice, I just have to redo it since I was in a rush, but it adds something all the other f150s don't have. Pics coming, its raining so I have to wait

They actually have Plasti Dip in stock. Go get you some!
The price jumped from $11.97 to $16.97 in the past couple months.
What colors do they have? I see plenty of black, clear and red but no others
