Yes I have used it, Like I said it is a good product, just soft and rubbery. Your not getting a hard finish. Will it stand up to the elements, I'll know, I painted my ATV with it. It was silver and looked its age from outside life. Put black and white seats on it also. Plasti Dip It has it's uses, I just can't see wrecking $1000 of wheels with the stuff. I would sell em and buy black myself.

I did plastidip but had issues with it shrinking then peeling, washed using p21s, simple green, dish soap, etc.

Finally said screw it and got them coated at work with a gun coating we do.



So far I've done the bumpers, wheels, grill, caps, badges with the same coating. I just did a catback with another coating. More details in my build thread.

2. Out of 4 tires done. They aren't coming out perfect but that's my fault. It's 100 degrees and I'm rushing lol. They still look pretty good though. Just need a touch up later on.
