it's actually a new Dupli color product I am very impressed with, Custom Wrap removable coating. I really like it because its a lot smoother then plasti and has a better finish IMO. A friend gave me some samples of it and I decided to try it out on my wheels, proper prepping is key. If I get tired of it i will just peel it off.

Here's what I did:
Removed wheels
waxed wheels
masked off inner wheel barrels and inner "lug holes"
sprayed product
I did not remove the tires. nor did I mask off the tires, the product did not really bond to the rubber, it peeled off easily.

yea, did just that After sending the pm....
I havent' looked at the color Palette of Plasti-Dip to see if they have something similar to the Graphite Metallic.
Pretty much the same thing as far as the removeable paint. I did the TRM wheels on my 996Turbo in the PD Smoke and
they were holding up well.

MJK 944 and the rest that do this...let us know how it holds up. I was going to do this for my winter wheels and fear that the conditions, road salt, water pressure from car washes etc. will cause peeling.
