you have to pull the tape off when the dip is still wet so you actually have to put one thick coat on

Y'all just paint the whole wheel with no masking? Just peels right off the tires?

No use index cards between the tire and rim all the way around to prevent it from getting it on tires. Its a PITA getting it off the rubber.

you need to do lots of light coats off, and whatever you tape off, you need to remove the tape when the dip is dry
