The issue w/ plastidip not coming off is heat. Your brakes get hot, which heats the wheels, which bakes the plastidip.

It does, a lot of people in my area use them to protect their wheels during the winter time.

So it's better to use plastidip as primer? Since its gonna bake and harden anyway.

Also, have u run ur car in a car wash? How's the plasti-dip holding?
