Not sure how this community feels about Plastidip in general but I thought it might be fun just to kind of mix it up a bit, with the option to change my mind easily enough when I get bored of it.  [roll]

I'm not sure why the img linking doesn't work right?

Eye catching change. Nice to be able to change it fairly easily and inexpensively.

No offense...the color sucks, but play away...there...I said it.

No worries - that's why it's temporary.  [thumbsup]
I had a long weekend after an eye surgery so I needed something to do.  [drink]

 Good way to quickly change color temporarily. My friend is a master of that stuff, he is always changing the colors of his truck parts.

Not a huge fan of the color(what color is that) but you did a good job, looks nice. Try a yellow or red or orange even. Go nuts. Brown? Is going too far probably.

I was going for "Loud" so I guess it worked.
It's pretty easy to do, you just have to make sure the wheels are absolutely clean and spot free, it's just like any painting I suppose where the prep work is important.
I ended up using 3 cans to do 4 coats on both wheels all together.
And yeah it just peels right off like a big sticker once you'e sick of it. (which, I will likely do at the end of the season :D )
