its sprayable rubber but it goes on so thin that it looks like flat paint. If you add the pearlescent or metallics it will give a little more depth but still on the matte side, no deep wet look possible yet.

Long term, you probably need a garage. It needs to be washed with a special cloth but I've seen videos of people running it through a car wash without damage. If you add the gloss, it will leave a sticky finish according to my results so far not sure if other haves have had different experiences.

as I get closer to a respray i think of this all the time! looks super sexy!
my only issue is how the Plasti dip reacts to UV, I have tried 303 to keep it protected, but after a year (several coats of 303 throughout) my wheels needed respray.
If you like to repaint your car yearly then yes super cool otherwise I would consider a vinyl. just my .02

Anuone using it on their track wheels?? I have read a few posts on various forums believing that the heat generated from the brakes may be too much for the plastidip given how much of that heat is transferred through to the wheels....

And if you are using it on track wheels with no heat issues, what about it peeling off the lip when you go to mount/remount slicks every few wknds?
