My plastidip peeled off, I did not do the back side of the wheels, they where very clean before I started. I also did my running boards, and noticed it shrunk on the running boards when it got cold, so I am thinking the wheels got cold and it let loose. I really did like the color.

IMPHQD, your rims look great powder coated. I'm curious where you found black center caps, or did you paint them yourself?

The guy I had do the paint sprayed them. And thank you, I am stoked with how the work came out.

I just heard of people plasti-dipping their tail lights etc. Wondering how this would turn out?

So far I've only found the little Mitsubishi boys doing it. But you're right, it does look pretty decent. Once I get her level done, her new wheel and tire set-up, I'll definitely be attempting this before sinking more money into tail lights.

Apparently you still can, at least that's what they're saying. I guess you just have to be a little more cautious with the application method, and not spray it on as thick as you would for your wheels or emblems. And hell, if you can't see your brakes afterwards, you can just peel the stuff off.
