wow, that looks nice. I am interested in how this is going to hold up to driving, washing, etc.

i've had my rsx blades plasti dipped white for a couple of months now. it holds brake dust quite easily, but it's tough as shit, i've hit them with simple green, wheel cleaner, and multiple brushings and it's held up just fine. i think if you hit them with some wax they wouldn't hold break dust so easily since that's the only downfall if you ask me.

also if you wanna do this, rather than paying $6 a can go to home depot and have them order you a case, it comes with six cans and is less than $20, then you have at least a can or two extra (more if you don't do the back of the wheels, i did though) in case you have to re do a wheel. you can't really sand or touch up like paint, you have to peel it off and redo the whole wheel, so having extra is good.

oh and one more thing, you do one or two heavier coats of this vs light frequent coats like spraypaint. if the plasti dip bubbles, you haven't waited long enough between coats (i found that it took at least a couple hours between to work perfectly)

stuff comes off really easily. one of my friends is obsessed with it and has his wheels and grill painted with plasti dip on his tl and it chips and peals all the time so he constantly resprays it. imo if u want a quality paint job on your wheels just get them powder coated.

i haven't had a single problem with chipping.

and this isn't supposed to be a legit paintjob, but rather an alternative that's not nearly as permanent or expensive as a $200+ powdercoat job

gets dirty very fast and kinda hard to clean. I need to do some clear coat, but it looks good.
