Default Plasti dip

My stock wheels have spent some time on a rack somewhere and had the rattle marks on them. Didn't feel like spending the money to get them refinished so decided to try plasti dip. Car is Lapis blue and I've always been a fan of blue and gold so said and done ordered 4 cans of vintage gold and 3 cans of glossifier. Comes like that in a package. Cost 60 bucks!
Never been very patient so I didn't wait 4 hours in between every layer. More like 10 min. Did 4 layers of paint and 2 layers of glossifier.
But I have to say I'm very happy with the result. The hardest part was actually getting rid of the overspray they recommend you to do.

Looks great, how does it look up close? What did you find was the best way to remove the overspray?

Actually looks very good up close! Sprayed a bit extra in the areas that had marks on them! Product seems to even it self out very good! Mounted new rear tires and the plastic stuck a lot more to the new tire walls then the old front tires! This is the link to the YouTube instruction video

thanks for the link, i'd like to try doing my wheels in black to see how it looks but i've heard that the coating bakes on and is very hard to remove if you go the track with this stuff.

Yes! I don't think it's a good idea on your track wheels! These will be rain tires! If they look terrible after a while I'll just peel it of!
