plasti dip'd 16" RS wheels

Bored this weekend 3 cans of black plastidip, 4 wheels. Left wheels on car. No masking. One thin coat, 3 heavy coats. Took 1 hour. Speed up drying time by using my kerosene heater between coats.

Re: plasti dip'd 16" RS wheels

Looks good. You do any kind of prep on the wheels first? Like strip the clear coat or anything?
