wow... how durable do yhou think that stuff will be?

also mine seem to have a "varnish" that is peeling off.. I assume that would need to be "thinned" off?

Did you just jack it and do one wheel at a time?

Mine has the clear coat peeling a bit, too. Maybe there's a way to re-coat it without having to repaint? Not looking for perfect results at this time around, but just a good improvement.

Just removed the wheel and painted over the part where the clear coat had came off...should last a while....

VHT has a clear high temp spray that works really well to touch up the clear coat problems. Just mask off the areas you don't want coated, clean and paint.
