Plastidipped my wheels.

Used the regular matte black as I'm going to use it as a base to use actual automotive paint on top of it, that way it will still be able to be peeled off.

What say you.

If you put regular paint ontop of plast dip it will not come off like you want it to come off. It makes the plasti dip material very hard and you will be screwed. If you want a glossy finish use the plasti dip glossifier. NEVER use other than plasti dip onto of it or you won't be able to get that off.

I tested it on an aluminum pipe and left it on and it came off like normal and I did a heavy coat of both.

Alright man... just figure I warn you. I went through the whole summer/fall last year and tried to peal it off and it was not fun at all.

Thanks, I always test prior to doing something like that. I sprayed a steel pipe and aluminum pipe again last night and I'm going to let it set for a month or so and see how it comes off.

Brake dust will ruin the beautiful finish unless to put a sealer on top.

Wheels get hot, plati dip gets soft, plati dip abosorbs the brake dust, plati dip dries and holds the dust. It sucks...
