Default Question for Plasti Dip wheels

Those of you that Plasti Dip sprayed your wheels, how did it hold up? Did you have to do many touch-ups? Does it hold up to washes and wheel cleaning? How long did it last?

@Plenum did it on his wheels with good success, don't think he had any major issues

Mine has help up well. Looks great. I’m not tracking the car, so for daily driving, no issues at all.

I did it to my f10 m5 3 years ago. I sprayed about 3-4layers without removing wheels.
they are surprisingly strong and still on the wheels. However since 2month ago, some part on the spokes start to rip apart. So I’m planning to respray it soon.
I can take pictures if you want.
I have underground parking driving rainy day as well but i thnink their durability is great.
also when I scratched my rims, I used brake cleaner to just to melt the rubber on the spot, and sprayed it again. I think they had a similar video on YouTube.

Did my winter wheels on last car and won't do it again. Peeled/flaked off every time i washed them. Car was leased so had to remove at lease end and that wasn't fun.

Thanks all, I have PCCB brakes and am thinking of spraying the wheels white. Saw a picture of a guards red Porsche with white wheels and they really popped. If I do it I'll post some pictures.
